I have several lbs. of computer scrap. I recently tore apart approx. 100 computers and have motherboards,memory chips, etc... Is there anyone in CNY who would be willing to refine for a split ?? Thanks

You are probably better off selling as is to a place like Boardsort.com, you may have a local place to sell to. http://boardsort.com/payout.php

i will use that post because it is a very good exemple for this
your offering to someone to refine your material and get a share... maybe 50/50

you get 100 computer strip down and Geo said i take about 100 to 150 computer to make an once of gold grosso modo 1600$
now your 100 computer down should bring you between 6 to 10 $ each ,let make it 8$ a peice...

you will pass 800$ cash because you hope for 1600$ split in half..............that make no sence
im not good with world but number speak for themself

you know what i mean right...
to endup with the same money but putting everything in the trust of someone else ... even old trusted member can make MISTAKE where YOU will loose money.

hope i did make you understand to avoid problem,
 
You may find somebody who will process your material for a % considering you deliver material ready to be processed - I mean close cut fingers, cut out flatpacks, scrapped off monolythics, cut out or desoldered pins (preferably separated to few groups like magnetic and non magnetic variety etc.)

If you hope to find somebody who will take boards as they are there is a big possibility that he will lose on this deal as proceeds will not cover cost of chemicals, labour and time involved.

Bigger companies who process whole boards will not touch such a small amount.


You either can sell them as they are or further pre-process them (separate recoverable parts as I mentioned earlier).
Question is how valuable is your time and if you want to spend time pre-processing them or get cash and go hunting for more.
