To sell or process RAM at today's gold price?

[Alondro]

I've been sorting through some more high-capacity RAM (1GB and 2GB) that's still usable and checked out what the sticks were selling for as used electronics. Often times I see them sell for $3 or $4 per stick, and it made me wonder if I should list it for sale rather than process it as I do the older or damaged RAM.

At current gold prices, a mere 1/20th of a gram of gold is $4 worth. Does anyone know the average yield of gold for RAM, calculating the total from both fingers and chips?

This is yield data from a friend of mine in GEO's FaceBook group.

I would not call 1/2gb ram high capacity anymore.

If the Ram is selling for $3-4 a stick, it’s a no brainer. Sell it that way. That said, I see 1 and 2gb offered for that price all the time, not much of it seems to sell at that price. I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, but in a world where 16gb sticks are common and ddr4 is where things are going it is not the norm.

However, $2 a stick still makes it more profitable than refining.
