Computer boards are packed up and ready to be picked up. - Page 4

Sweet jesus, can you please break that up into paragraphs?

Also Atlantic please do an intro so we get to know you. What you have written is very interesting to me since I live up the road from those people. Thank you, Mike.

I called the 123 precious metal refining recommended by Atlantic. It was a quick conversation since I didn't want to waste their time. I only have about 100 lbs of computer material on hand.

As I understand it: 2000lb mimum to make a run with 80% gold, 70% siver, and 70%(?) pallidium return. They will buy lesser amounts. I did not discuss just how small of an amount I would be able to take in. He did say he wanted everything complete in the computer not seperated out.(this seems to be very different from other buyers) And they pay $4-5/lb for that material. It might be worth the trip to see them in person. Mike.

$4-5/lb for complete computers?

Yea, I think I might just take a ride down the road with some of my e-scrap and see what they say face to face. If I do I will take notes and report back. Mike.

I wish I would have know that before I tore down all those servers I picked up...hell, the cases alone were 10lb. - 15lb. That can't be right...that comes out to around $100 -$200 per server. Unless they plan on just paying you for the board weight and keeping the rest for themselves.

Ill probably have to call them back

Don't know if this kind of business has any state licenses or not, but if they do then threatening to file a complaint with the state is sometimes effective.

$4-5/lb for complete computers would be around $100/computer. I've seen an ewaste company list 40,000lbs of computers monthly for $.50/lb... I'd sell my left nut to come up with the $20k to buy them and resell for 8-10x the amount...

Some places to file complaints would be the Better Business Bureau and the state Attorney General.

What I believe the guy was trying to say is he wanted all the good stuff out of a computer, mother board, pci, cpu and that he would pay $4-5/lb. I intend to go there tomorrow, 123 precious metal refinery in Wilmington, NC. I will take some of my e material and see what's what, Mike.

I sent them an email with no reponse. let us know what you come up with miked.

I wonder if thats normal that they dont give the basic metals back at any percentage. LIke aluminum and copper.

The BBB shows them having a lot of complaints, but they still give them an A rating
