Well it is something.
Where did you find us.
Where are you from, what are your plans in here and so on.
How versed are you in chemistry and so on is also nice to know.

Or the other alternative is to come back when you are serious!

Wow! The sound of one hand clapping.

Time for more coffee.

Who says I am not serious? I was asked to make a welcome post.
I did. I waved.
I planned to talk when I had something to say, the threads to say it in, and the people to say it to. I am looking for information and a buyer.
I had no idea that making a simple welcome post and using a hand wave gesture to say hello would turn into being grilled and then ridiculed.

Well it is something.
Where did you find us.

Google and landed on scrapman1077's trade thread after being offered about 40% below spot from a local buyer for my 85 year old 92.5 sterling.
The actual math was buying in DWT at Gram price.

The U.S.

Don't mix Bleach and Ammonia

Time for more coffee.

Redundant. It is always coffee time.

--------------------------

Please don't continue this. Hello, thank you for the warm welcomes, and see in in the appropriate threads.

 

[Wanderer]

I have decided this will be my first appropriate thread.

------

I became a supporting member of the forum as a thank you to the forum for being here for me.

------

I was able to indirectly find a local buyer for my collection at -15% from this forum while researching Chelsea Coins in MI. I was able to make about $1200 more than the best scoundrel price in this area I had previously been quoted; which was around -43%. And get this, the absolute worst quote I received equaled an -even- 80% BELOW SPOT! That "reputable and well known jeweler" should be far more than ashamed of themselves.

Also, I talked to Rich at Chelsea Coins on the phone. He seemed honest and straight forward, and also quoted me the same numbers as was posted in this post in this thread. I had planned to make the 140 mile drive to see him but, as I previously said, I found a local buyer while researching Chelsea Coin’s credentials. Even though I sold the bulk of my collection locally, rather than a 280 mile round trip for an extra $140 minus gas, I still intend to mail Rich a few coins. I will report back in the future in that thread about how that goes.

------

My other intended research topic is E-Scrap. Between my friend and I we have at least a ton of MBs, memory, CPUs and other categories. In 2015 we took a trip from Michigan to Boardsort in Ohio with a Ranger and trailer fully+ loaded, and have been recently planning to make the trip again. From what I have read here that will still be the best plan as far as net profit goes. I have concluded, in short order, from my reading here that processing the e-scrap myself is something I have absolutely no intention of getting into, and finding a different buyer other than Boardsort -in regards to net profit- is most likely not going to happen.

------

Maybe though in the future I will see if I want to learn more than "Don’t mix Bleach and Ammonia"

Welcome to the forum Wanderer.

There is another ewaste buyer who is a member here. I don't recall his name at the moment, but perhaps someone else will help jog my old brain.

Goldwasser

 

[FrugalRefiner]

Goldwasser is Boardsort's buyer. EwasteD is who I was trying to remember. He represents cashforcomputerscrap.

If you ever decide to try some refining I’d suggest doing what most do here , cherry pick the best and easiest material to start with , it can be fun and addictive and in some cases very profitable, failing that you can still learn a lot here to help you look for material to trade.
