The Best of Ebay

[resabed01]

I should make them a fair offer of $0.01.

I don't think this guy has what he thinks he has? It would be nice to see the full label but this mining sample seems to be showing the amounts per Ton of ore? He seems to think the amounts of gold, silver, and copper are what is in the bottle?

I think he knows he does not have 750 dollars worth of gold in the bottle, but has a good way of pulling a scam on some fool on Ebay.

Does any body know this guy? I am trying to figure out the best pricing to either buy or sell RAM sticks and he claims to have figuered it out but he will tell for $10.00

His info couldn't be more than one page. Looks like he has never made a sale.

I think you'll find that there's more valid information on this site than in his book.

With electronic scrap I just can't see how you could possibly come up with a "best" method to buy it. There are just way too many variables. As close to free is really the only thing I can think of.

I'm aware that I'll probably be castigated for this reply however it needs to be said and it's written in the hope it will benefit some of the members. Golden, the best way to buy electronic scrap is actually to study, know your product, research the types of scrap that offer the best yields and then actively go out and find it. (I'm replying as if speaking to you but I mean it in general so please don't take it personally.)

I cannot say this enough but knowledge, knowledge, knowledge.

This forum is one of many out there and the data on here alone can point anyone towards a very profitable refining career. Whilst everyone gets lucky once in a while, picking up free scrap (or close to free) and refining the low grade product that comes from said scrap will achieve not much more than honing your processes, whilst taking up an awful lot of your time.

Do your homework. spend hours and days doing it. Weeks would be better. Then actively go looking for the "high rent" gear, the stuff that your homework tells you gives good yields. Don't be afraid to spend some coin when you find it because the returns will literally make your eyes boggle.

I spend hours at a time researching particular components and more importantly what they are used in.

Then I find where those units live and I buy them. Forearmed with the knowledge of what is inside them I can work out what I need to pay to give me the return I have set myself.

Handled well, you can spend $200 and turn it into $600 or even $1000 in a weekend. If you're into selling your gold then sell it and then you've got between $600 and $1000 to spend next time.

Rinse and repeat. Before you know where you are you'll have $5000 to spend and THAT gentlemen is when the game really gets interesting because doubling up on $5000 is a wonderful experience.

To those who don't appreciate what I'm saying that's your choice. You carry on doing what you're doing. For those who want to achieve something beyond messing around with 3g of gold at a time then please take it on board.

Meant in the best possible way guys.

Very good info. That is what I was trying to do today at work and ran across that "e-book"

I am doing the math to see if it is more profitable to buy two certain items on feeBay and sell to my recycler or buy the same thing from my recycler and sell on feeBay.

I have already bought hundreds of an item for .05¢ each and sold everyone at $8 to $13 each.
In another deal I bought almost 5000 of an item at .045¢ each and sold for .125¢ to .20¢ each.

All items had gold on or in them.
Sad thing is I completely bought out the supply, but waiting for more.

 

[resabed01]

I'm willing to agree, less than 10K sounds right. The question is, how much less than 10k!

1.27 Kilogram of aluminium for 83.80$ that is some new record. :twisted:

This looks like good find, depend on postage. Not good for me but some us members may go for it. 40 of them looks like gold plated dacom cards other 20 do have pins and IC inside so some value there too.

Those are just normal everyday PCMCIA cards. Nothing special about them, the gold on the outside is not gold plating. They are very small, there are not many pins so not much gold plating at all. After taking them apart, removing the PC boards, liberating the pins from the plastic surround I think anyone would be hard pressed to claim a profit or very much value at all. I am looking at one right now, and honestly there is not much gold plating over copper on the green board.

I would be surprised if there was $25 dollars worth of gold on all the PCMCIA cards in total.

I think I have seen somewhere that outside is gold plated. I will have to test one.

No, according to this it is a gold plating.

I used to see quite a lot of these casings for sale on ebay for gold recovery, I have no clue about yield someone may try to calculate it. That is why I thought it may be worth a shot for us member.
I have recently scrapped about 50 of them so I know what is inside, that outside plating was what I thought may be worth a shot at 25 $ it does look better than most of other auctions for few grams of cpu pins or fingers at the same price.

 

[edsikes]

they will probably wind up selling for 100$ US knowing the way stuff goes on ebay...

 

[patnor1011]

They may, if he word it differently and include gold recovery and make better pic with them on the floor or something... Then crazies will jump on them like mad.

:lol: Some people do not treat their waste, they sell it. What comes next? Used AP? Fouled electrolytes?

Can't be anyone in this forum, because he believes there is gold in the ceramic.
