The Best of Ebay

[darshevo]

Anyone care to give me some insight on how to take 20 lbs of mixed motherboards and turn them into a form of 'dore bar' ? First person to give me a good non environmentally nasty method to make it work I will split my first 10 sales with 50/50 :mrgreen:

Shear off the components, then run the boards through a thickness sander to remove the metals, put the metals into a crucible with some flux and melt.
easy as pie.

He said a non environmentally nasty method. This would produce so much black smoke the air force would come.

Not to mention clouds of dust coming off sander.

Yeah, I remember reading that now. Sometimes people have to explain jokes to me too. :roll:

it does not produce much smoke. the only plastics is the small amount of mask on the metal, you are not burning the entire board.
that is why you would use a thickness sander.

In the early 80s, Balfour (I think) made class rings out of an alloy that was 25% palladium. I think they called it it Q-Pal, for a quarter palladium. I don't remember what the other 75% was - either Ag or Cu. There were other manufacturers that used Pd, of varying amounts, in class rings. Palladium was cheap then and these rings were sold to those that couldn't afford karat gold.

Spot on Göran. It says PLATRIUM on both of them. The price now is 24.49 which is about right for both of them - with free postage of course.

That's quite a gamble after reading this statement.

Hard drives have been removed from all computers

Other components may be missing

So true. I honestly wouldnt even want to attempt processesing all this stuff.

I consistently buy this classification of escrap (its my bread and butter) On the outside (waaaaaay outside) I would be into a lot like that around $5k. GA did real well on that one for sure. Gawd knows I have seen P3 laptops bring $150 a copy as recently as last month at auction
