The Best of Ebay

In the history of electronics, I would bet money that the yellow gold plating on any electronic parts has never been 14K - not once.

Maybe someone should ask him why it tested so low. :|

He is clearly a case of dentist trying to perform caesarian or chef repairing car.

ok give the benefit of the doubt and hypathetically it weighs 2.0 ounces of gold after ya take off the board and all its electronic parts and dump it in acid. 14k is approx 585. fine, so after you bring it up to 24k you will have over half the initial weight or close to 1oz before melt. Or am I completely wrong and my figuring is off tilt.

Rich, I doubt very highly that there is more than $50 worth of gold on both boards combined. The reason I said "both" boards is because,there are in fact 2 boards there.One board is nothing more than a pcb with components on it,and the other is a sheet of copper that has been gold plated.They peel away from each other quite easily.However the plating on that bar,is no greater than the plating on most other electronic components.
And as GSP mentioned,plating in the electronics industry has always been 24K.That is what he taught me years ago,and while there may be an exception to this,I have never found one.

Thank you sir and that is why I ask questions to certain things. If you dont ask questions you dont learn from more knowlegeable people. Maybe someone should send him a message and say scratch the surface and lets see what underneath.

He knows very well what is underneath. :twisted: :twisted:
That is why he worded his auction like that. He may always say that he never said it is solid gold. He wait for gold fever blinded fools.

Anyone recognise these chips? Or any idea what they might be similar to generically?

I looked at those buttons,and the buttons that he has on another auction,and they look identical to that "Amalgamate" crap that is sold on ebay.It is glorified bismuth,and when melted it colls to that shiny aluminum look.I emailed the guy,and told him he may want to have it tested,and he responded with:
Hi, Thank you for the comment. I have been blessed with a fruitful fire. I am sure that it contains a great amount of gold. I have shined up some golden color out of them and sold 1 1/2 oz today to the gold buyer in town. I'm not sure if I will leave these on ebay.. Thank you.
He shined up some golden color out of them?!?!?There's a trick I'd like to learn.

He's been blessed alright. Rotfl

Wow that's great. A con man I can deal with, but it's sad when these guys start to believe their own line of BS.

From the feedback, people must be happy with what they are getting. Goes to show the dumbing down thing I heard about is working.... :|

 

[goldenchild]

Looks like another person (buyer question) that will end up here soon. If they don't kill themselves first.

That's a pretty fun looking unit. My 2 favorite parts are "12-cup Glass Reactor " (rather than using a measurement in oz or ml) and where he mentions he is a Phd chemist and then goes on to tell how he accidentally poisoned himself :mrgreen:

 

[goldenchild]

I contacted the seller about this unit. I commented on how I thought the unit would not be suitable for use in a closed room and the liablities that the unit could entail and so on. This is how he responded.

"Dear Prospective Buyer!
I apologise You underestimate the capabilities of Chemistry.
When used the Kit properly, adsorbent completely neutralizes gases and vapors in the scrubber. There are no acid fumes and odors on the work place. Please buy and test. You can turn back Kit, if it does not meet your approval
"

Sales like this may cause E-Bay to ban selling homemade apparatuses altogether, after a few hundred deaths of course....

omg there is NO WAY i would ever think of buying that "besides for a "do not do this at home video" lol first you mix this stuff....and uh a little of this...and then a drop of... BOOM" and thats all she wrote )

Now all you need is an easy bake oven for incineration. lol
