Circuit Boards

I would like to point out that I am in Alaska. There is no economical way for me to buy scrap nationally because of the shipping aspect (I’m getting the impression some think I am competition).

There are other items/categories of e-scrap (hard drive boards/hard drives without board/cellphones/cellphones without batteries/answering machine,cordless phones,digital cameras/power supplies with wire/power supplies without wire/fingerless cards/fingerless memory/telecom high grade boards/IC chips/mid grade boards/etc) that are not available on the any buy list that I have seen on the forum. Sellers like to have options as to how they process their scrap.

And yes, I believe that the metal content (gold/silver/etc) of each component should be available so people can judge for themselves if they are receiving a fair price. I understand buyers/sellers/refiners all have to make money or they wouldn’t do what they do. However, we know who benefits by keeping the seller in the dark about what they are really selling.

When buying a house often both the buyer and the seller each have a realtor looking out for their interests. I am acting the part of the seller’s realtor since the buyers seem to be well represented.

And so no one thinks I am “after” anyone or there business I too have sent easyrecycle PM’s and received quick courteous replies.

Just like in realestate, if you have a realtor, he gets his cut... if you buy a home on your own you can get screwed... as for assay results, if we have paid considerable money, we would need to be compensated for our risk in obtaining those results... right? greater risk is for greater reward... if you arent taking the chances everyone else is, why do you deserve to be rewarded???

Next time you go to a store, when you are at check out, ask them how much money they are making on you... or what they paid for that...

The amount of gold that can be found is not something simple....from the date it was made..an the factory that made it can mean more or less gold.

Lets take item A...Item A can have 1gram of gold but on the same item that was made at the same time but in a diffident factory it could be 0.8grams of gold or on this date it came out to 1.2grams of gold...it verys very widely.

An on top of that...If you would LIKE to spend as much money-time an hard work into finding out how you can make profit on any one item..then you can only do one thing...buy my company out an I will hand you all my books (that wont happen any time soon).

Even with all my books/sheets I keep (an update every time I take a load in on what was made an amount of metals that where recovered) I still have to keep them updated an adding more data to them an they have even been wrong an I find out I lost lost money.

Its not just a clear cut deal.
