11 Pounds Ultra High Grade Circuit Boards for Scrap Gold Refining Refine | eBay

I think that you are wrong on the date you gave the boards. SMD technology was not around then nor was the T491 series tantalum caps.

Good luck though with them.

Seriously? $45/lb?

1970's was listed under condition as a search term, it is not listed in the title or description of the listing, unsure of date manufactured

$40-$60 pound is the going rate based on completed listings, ive seen single boards weighing less than 1 pound sell for $75 recently

these auctions show same boards selling for much more than im asking:

8 pounds sold for $500 and 10oz sold for $100

High Yield Gold Plated Circuit Board for Scrap Recovery Fingers Chips 8 lb 2oz | eBay

High Yield 14k Gold Plated Circuit Board for Scrap Recovery Chip Pins | eBay

Electronics are not plated in 14k gold, its 24k plated over copper. Not knowing the mfg info its impossible to know the thickness if the plating. Not commemting on your listing, its the other one. 14 k is an alloy of gold with percentages of other metals mixed in. It wouldnt surprise me that someone bought those boards expexting one thing only to realize they over paid and now are trying to recoup their money. But anything is possible on ebay.

Theres 100 similar listings under completed listings, you can put anything in a listing 14k 24k ultra high yield or however you want to describe the boards, it means nothing. Those are simply search terms people are using to attract and enchant buyers. unknoledgeable sellers and buyers are afoot and prices are crazy!!!!!
