    I have been throwing these into a small tote and when I get enough then they probably will go up on Ebay.

    The most common place I find these 'I can't believe that its Gold' peices are.

    Microwave LCD displays. I think one of the top photos is one.
    Printer control panels. Just behind the two or three buttons on the case (like theres a plastic panel of odd shape on the top of the unit, the panel has a few buttons on it, check it for AU)
    Old 'printer type' calculators. Or of that era. Gold where the switch is & where the switch to 'move the decimal point' is)
    Home phones, the landline sort. Mixed results there.
    Computer keyboards. Hardly ever, but sumtimes....
    Tv, channel changer. The sort that you have to input the individual channel by fiddling with a small plastic wheel. Once or twice.
    Home security alarm panels. Yay Gold!
    Scanner bars on scanner/printers. Over 200 little peices of Gold wire. Count them.

    I found these in a computer from 1996 the computer is a optiquest by view sonic the first board with silver had its very own slot processor and the second board with gold came out of this weird button configuration http://i1332.photobucket.com/albums/...ps420f5230.jpg
