Im not the integrity police either. I read a couple of forums and have for a good 10 years. I read this forum when it first come online.
To be honest you have 2 kinds of scrappers. The first is the smash and grab scrapper that is looking for a quick payday. It doesn't matter what the resale value is it goes to the scrap yard.
The second scrapper will do some homework and think about getting the most out of the scrap. This scrapper isn't looking for a fast payday.
The worst part about scrapping is there are a lot of braggarts in this business. Im not talking about hauling in steel. I am talking about ewaste. The money is in ewaste. Theres money to be made in steel but how hard are you working to get it to the yard?
With ewaste a lot of people don't know what to look for. People get ahold of ewaste and they think they have hit the lottery.
This is just a little list what people need to look for and hold back.
Any old telecom boards that are through hole heavily populated with ic chips.
Boards that are heavily populated with tophat transistors or ics that have a gold tab. Do a search on tophat transistors on the web.
Memory boards that have a bga style chip
hard drive boards
Last but not least 14 to 16 pin chips that have a gold cap and gold leads on them. These will be clean socket pulled chips with no sloder on them. These have 10 grams or better in gold in them. Some people on the forum gave me a hard time and wanted to argue about the yields on these chips before. These chips are worth 250 dollars a pound to the seller.
