I got burnt with so called domestic refiners. If its a one time thing defenitly just sell the material to one of us buyers. But I have gotten to the volume needed to make refining viable for me and im willing to take the risks associated with it.
This is where I can many a lot more money, plus I feel that since I am selling the items to a e-waste scrapper anyways, I can continue to tell my clients that "I do not directly remarket anything" it all goes for recycling. If I happen to get paid for better than scrap, then that's part of the buyer. The only thing to be remotely concerned with the downstream trail of it. But "I do not directly remarket anything" and I am sure that my buyer is happy with the stuff I bring him.
