    NON POPULATED PCB's

    I have tried to send a PM to acouple of buyers on here to see what the pricing on these would be. So now i turn to the general public has anyone sold these boards and what price did you get? I have the opportunity to buy these from a company that makes them( I have 300#'s right now), any help would be appreciated.

    I don't take these anymore, the ones i have had previously never had any precious metal content. I suppose there are some that do but i couldn't be bothered with the hassle

    I'm also curious what these boards might go for. I found a guy who refines the gold content from his boards, depopulated of course, and wanted to know if I might be interested in purchasing them. Obviously that doesn't leave much left besides some copper and maybe a little silver, but If I could get them and find a buyer it might be worth it.

    i have sources of this material and buyers for it, id classify them as unpopulated midgrade so pricing should be similar to midgrade

    If that is gold trim it off. Trim only the gold covered parts because getting $.30-$.70/lb just doesn't seem worth it, weigh the trimmings from 1 and see if it is worth your time then. Don't make any deals until you do this!

    a dollar a pound.. a bit light on the dollar... I've been able to get these out to my guy for about 2.50 a pound.. depending on the amount of gold showing. So.. basically its mid grade.. and thats around 2 bucks to 3 depending on buyer.

    Where the heck is the gold at? There's no logic chips or or resistors/transistors to get anything out of. The board is just silicon isn't it? And copper plates where you're spose to sodder?
