That's got to be a watch buyer rather than a gold buyer.

Thats funny to see what higher price will do to otherwise overlooked items. I was buying old&gold watches for one my friend in 2005-2006. I saw and bought (unfortunatelly sold too) big amounts of this fold filled watches as they were on offer for next to nothing. I wish I was keeping them. Sigh... Still have few nice pieces - I may take picture of them.

Zero feedback bidder looks "iffy". . . .Good chance for a relist on this

These type of auctions are getting annoying. They are taking advantage of the spike in... well... all the PMs to have people part with their money for junk.

at least it did say plated, this is like some of the adds I see on tv. snakes in the grass.

according to google:
100 mils is = 100000 microinch (µin)
100000 µin = 0.099 inchs

somthing is not right with the eBay "100 mils" description...


Maybe when they write "Mils" is a short of "millionth of an inch", that looks much more reasonable with the prices?

 

[patnor1011]

It is more of because most of them are just copycat sellers. They use terms without understanding of their meaning.

that may be part of their problem - too few feeBayers even try to be accurate. it makes it so much ahrder for those that do try.

I emailed this guy. He said in one place it was 24K gold and another place it was 24K plated gold. I told him that if it was 24K gold, it was worth $4000 and if it was 24K plated gold, it was worth $3 to $5, in gold. I asked him to verify what it was. I haven't heard from him yet.

Ok I finally found an auction to contribute to this thread.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Huge-Scrap-Lot-MotherBoard-Memory-CPU-Gold-Recovery-/330492525289?pt=Motherboards&hash=item4cf2e3bae9


None of the riser boards,or memory have the fingers.

WOW! If those are real, they are beautiful.

Think about this. No one knows how thick the gold is but a fair guess might be 10 micro". At that thickness, it would take 58 square feet of gold plated area to equal the $1170 starting price. If the thickness were 20 micro", it would take 29 square feet and, at 30 micro", it would be 19 square feet. I still would guess 10 micro", or less.

I am guessing that the larger boards are 8" x 8" and the smaller are 6" x 6" and, if there are 18 of each, the total plated area is 12.5 square feet.

The boards ressemble a variety of communication boards (from cell phone tower stations) that I have seen before. The gold on the ones I saw was so thin that you could erase it with an eraser in a few strokes. The plating washed off in AP within a few seconds using a toothbrush and left only a light 'film' of gold particles on the surface of the Acid Peroxide bath.

Well, they still have a pretty golden glow!

I was not thinking the price was anywhere near reasonable.

Thanks
