I live in Calaveras County in California. Right near the Hwy. 49, "Gold Country". I refine my own gold from computer scrap. I collected this scrap from the Bay Area, silicon valley, back in 1987-1993. I carted all this stuff with me when I moved to the hills in '93. When I refine my gold, I do it so I can sell it with pride and with the hope of getting good money for my effort. Unfortunately, no-one wants to pay more than 60%! The pawn brokers, the jewelry stores, the Jewelers, etc. A few of them don't even know much about gold that comes in powdered form! Refined by AR, that is. I have made an appointment with one company who says they'll pay up to 80%. I'll be happy with that. But thats only One company! There are alot of places here that buy gold, but they all just want to pay 60%. That's way too low for the time and effort I put into this. None of them have seen my gold yet, this is just what they say on the phone. My gold is beautiful and pure. If anyone knows of a buyer who pays more than 75% at least in this area, could you share the secret? Thanks, Yvonne
