There are 10 ads running full time on Craig's List where I live. They all want the dead computers for free, the only way I could get into the market (I am very new at this), was to offer to pay, I only pay $1.00 for a dead PCs and .10 for phones, and nothing for printers, Crts etc... I get calls every day, some for as many as 20 PCs at a time, I hold the CPUs and phone boards and I sell the rest at our local salvage yard. I strip the heat sinks and power supplies , and I am considering stripping the hard drives. Even without stripping the hard drives I still average 8.00 per computer. I don't mind the dollar investment and it waste only way I was able to break into the business at this time. Wish I had a local place to buy my plastic cases alsoI am still trying to figure out how they are grading my copper though?

I save the CUPs, ram and cell boards, because I am going to mine the pure gold from them, this'll increase my profit tremendously

No it won't unless your a professional, if your a hobbyist doing the refining then you will probably lose 50% of what your trying to reclaim. That's why we sell to the buyers on the forum here and let the pro's do the reclaiming, and thru total breakdown we can get 12-15 out of each computer not counting if some parts are sold not scrapped. We pay up to $5 each and still make a good profit. Take your time and do a lot of reading to start getting your maximum profit out, just like printer boards.Originally Posted by chevwizard

If you don't set everything up properly trying to refine the gold, you run the risk of hurting or possibly killing yourself; definitely not worth a gram or so of gold.
