    Looking for a refiner to refine my escrap.

    I've been actively collecting for a few months. I can't seem to Find a refiner that will refine for me. I don't think I want to sell it but buy to have it refined for me..Any recommendations?

    You may want to do a search for "very small scale refiner".

    I would think that once you have several thousand pounds of high value material you would be able to contract a small scale refiner. Keep at it and best of luck to you!

    Your going to need to find a toll refiner, who will work with you at that level. No big refinery is going to touch you from my understanding. Something like a minimum amount of weight...like..25K + I could be wrong but..eh, that's what I've gathered. You should be looking at forums that have more refiners then scrappers. I know a few from GRF are here, but Ive never seen them offer their services to the public.

    So check GRF. If you haven't done so yet. They have a services section. Have your ducks in a row before asking though, and read their rules! Cause if they get on you, it means you didnt read the rules. They are a great bunch but take what they do quite seriously. Failing that..check for small refiners. I'm sure a google search will have you checking for days with the results that pop up.

    Or even a search for toll refiner.

    Good luck.

    10,000lbs is usually the bare minimum for toll refiners but you have have a certain yield or you may get nothing. i dont want to sound undelicate but less than 1k lbs of mobos are what they use for assays/testing of which you have to pay for. its not worth the costs of chemicals or time when they deal w/ several 44k lbs truckloads a week. stack up a pile or selling outright are your best bets

    This question belongs on a refining forum - Like GRF.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
