    10 Ceramic Intel 1486 cpu chips---what would you pay?

    If you had a chance to buy 10 Intel i486 cpu chips, what is the max you offer someone?

    I know a lb would sell for $130+ but I am not sure how many would equal that lb.

    I am going to guess you mean to offer $65/lb..but what I am asking, is what should I offer for 10 of these specific chips? Does 10 of them equal 1 pound?

    Wait a minute!! If those prosessors sell for 65.00 and THE 10 = 1/2LBS and you offer 32.50 by the time you pay for shipping you'll losse money. No room for profit at 32.50 or am I missing something?

    George let me take a crack at this one you need 20 of these to make a lb ($130+ per lb) so 10 will give you 1/2lb(worth about $65). Now if you pay $30 you should be able to double your $$$

    For I486 I normally pay $6.50 each when I buy them. Normal rate is around $7.23 give or take a few cents. But if you can get 10 for 32 bucks DO IT if not give them my number lol. Just kidding but yes 32 is a great price for you anyhow.

    What type of CPUs were they PTS? Just ceramics, or other?

    Thanks Joe, for giving me an idea on price to offer. Little under a $1 profit, but still not bed.

    Since I am looking to get into refining, and all ceramics have more gold content then others, that is one thing I have been trying to find out, is a price to offer per chip.

    just a box of mix from regualr green fiber to pentium pro. box weighed almost 50 pounds. You would be surprised how many cpu's you can fit in a large flat rate box when you stack them pin to pin like a sandwich before putting them in the box.

    you can get about 50 pounds of copper top cpus in a flat rate box, so say you paid $6 per pound and selling for $10 per pound. subtract out $15 in shipping and your still looking at a 60% profit.

    PTS, I appreciate the tip on how to place them in there. Will keep that in mind if the whole refining thing doesnt pan out.
