If it was me, I'd toss it in my bucket(The original of the above..)an save it for a special shipment to my buyer or to be toll refined once I had a good amount worthy of such. That's just me tho..YMMV.

Edit: I had a another couple thoughts..(Scary I know...owooo) You could get a nice collection and sell them via Ebay or wherever to home refiners. An..Nice board! Love seeing gold like that, heck I like any gold.



An seriously..get a bucket for gold boards like that. You could also check with your buyer to see if they'd pay more for it. Neva know!

Sirscrapalot - Getcha OMG IT"S GOLD™ 2014 bucket while they last! (dealends12312014,nopurchasenecessaryanifyoureadal lthisimsorry)

I do not have a regular buyer yet, havent sold any e scrap, have only taken apart a couple of desk top towers, a couple keyboards and stuff like that. Still trying to gather as much info as the best routes to go with things, it's overwhelming. Once I get it figured out, Im gonna start trying to get my hands on more of it. I have been taking apart car radios and that kind of stuff now, since some of the stuff in the Mustangs I part out doesnt work anyway, or even better, if I dont if it works.....it gets the axe now instead of shred.

One of the local yards that pays the lowest on pretty much everything (normal scrap) actually buys e scrap (whereas the higher paying yard in town doesnt buy it, go figure), they told me 2.25 on high grade board, 1.45 on mid grade and .11 on low grade a couple weeks go. I know most of the buyers on here pay more than that, but there is shipping to contend with, then again I do not know what the scrap yard considers high or mid grade, or if they expect it to have everything, heat sinks/cpu/ram etc, there is no telling with them.

Is it better to send stuff like this to a toll/home refiner vs sending to a board buyer? I know boards pretty much have a set rate that varies slightly, but this is kind of a one off compared to what I have seen listed for pricing, so I dont know what to do with it. I do Ebay a bit, but havent done anything like this, so I would have to research completed items, even then, Im not sure I would get a solid idea.

I will only get the gold bucket if you promise to John Hancock it (wait that didnt sound right....)
