What is old computer memory worth?

[NobleMetalsRecovery]

I may have asked the question once before. I would like to know the value of computer memory if someone does their own recovery. It brings around $8.00 per pound consistently on eBay. Is this because of the metals value, or for some other reason?

It is because people have big eyes and big egos. The most I have been offered from a refiner was 7.75$ USD.

That would make me think it is worth processing the memory yourself. The refiner has to make a profit, so there much be some value in it above the $7.75 per pound.

Thanks, maybe my buyer isn't looking at the numbers, but his buyer could be.
