Getting ready to list these on e-bay - 35 pounds of P4 copper heatsinks with gold plate and Indium solder.

I'll be listing it later tonight or first thing in the morning. Anyone on the GRF interested, please send a PM and we'll work a price. We'll split shipping.
Sorry, only selling them in the U.S..

Thanks!

Phil

I started buying gold and silver from people locally... Started melting the broken stuff and started my first batch of gold refining earlier this week...I made the policy to sell the good useable jewelry I get. I've got some decent gold stuff listed on ebay over spot prices but lower than discount jewelry prices and I'm yet to get any bids.

I've got my silver stuff priced way to high because I really don't want to sell my stack yet, but I'm surprised my gold jewelry isn't selling. Any tips? I'm always reading suggestions to sell stuff that are worth more than the intrinsic value on here but I'm not finding the right methods of selling. Any suggestions on good selling good useable jewelry?
 
Be very careful.I have just been banned for life for my first test sale's.
Contact eBay and make sure they understand your level of trade.
Any thing above £30 of value seemed to me to be a lost leader,But ring's that had a value of under £15 would sell for much above there value.
eBay prices do not resemble true gold prices as most people have no idea about the true value of kit.
eBay even tried to tell me I had let Au go for below market price which is very silly.
But all the rings with big worthless stones will get much more than the price they are worth as you oblivious can not weigh them apart.So have to list the combined weight.

What was your cited violation? I've been selling sports cards on ebay for years and value my account. All my gold is labeled accurately and offer returns for any unhappy clients.
 
The only thing I managed to get out of them after day's on the phone and emails was they "did not like my sale's model"and thought it was" open to abuse".
I did not know I had a sale's model so how can they like or dislike something that is still in development and they do not seem to mind that every other lot they sell is ether counterfeit or very light compared to the listing,that is the only abuse I have seen..
I was flabbergasted I have put thousands of pounds of purchases through over the ten years I was using my account.
They sent me offers of free listings and said I could list up to £5000.
But the moment I put £500 of kit up they had a little fit and just issued a MC999 with out investigation.
I think I may have focused on the macro photography to much and have to admit I have never read there commercial guide lines as I only thought of my self as running a basic test as a privet seller.
They have billions of pound worth of stock running through every day so I did not think my drop in there ocean would cause any waves but boy did they.
And the absolute worst thing is no communication.one misunderstanding and band for life no way to even discuss the matter.
Even if you run some one over you only get a two or three year ban from driving but there you go.
I will just have to concentrate on Bullion and forget about cashing in the very thin bit of tat that sells on ebay and is not good enough for a proper auction house.
all the best.

I really would like italian sellers applying decent prices, here they get premium price, even more then PMs value. Most of the little material I have comes from free and it's taking forever to add up.

I hope your actions goes really well.
