    Gravitar......Ok, I get it now. I've been trying to figure out the same thing. Someone's going to have to refine a batch of that gold ribbon and figure a turnout. When they know the gold content, they can fix a price. I've just been saving mine from as you said printers, cell phones, and the contacts on hard drive motors. I have seen a $30 per lb offer on the gold squares from sattelite dish cards. There could be a comparison there, but this ribbon is very thin and I think the gold to plastic ratio should be better if you trim it close. It could be even better than gold fingers trimmed. Someone who's refined some of this may let us know.

    i think this was discussed on a post this wk, and it was stated that was an old price and the new one was 5$/lb. i could be wrong.
