Thank you for the explanation of how you conduct business and answering my questions.


Question 1:The range in pricing for the hard drive boards is because the range in types. EXAMPLE: average scuzzi drive board contains around 250ppm of Au where as your average sata drive board contains around 100ppm of Au.

I have follow up questions regarding hard drives. You list the ppm(parts per million ?) of Au(gold) in two types of boards. What about IDE hard drive boards and what is the pricing for each type of board? Could you also explain how or where those yield numbers come from and also what is the ppm of the other metals found in those boards?

Also what does 100 ppm of Au(gold) translate to grams?

The 50% / 50% is for larger loads that will take more time to look thrue a gaylord or two. I understand your concerns but you also have to understand that i can not pay out 100% on a load of boards that will consume more time to sort thru then the seller has to wait around.

How much time does it take for you to sort a gaylord of mixed boards? From what I have read from other people that have delivered large loads to other buyers, there is never a problem getting in and out in a timely manner and getting paid the same day.
Sorry if it seems I am nitpicking but still can not get past the 50% now and 50% later payout.

The 50% / 50% is more for clients who send me more then a few gaylords. I sometimes get half a trailer of boards.The 50%/50% doesnt apply to smaller loads that can be sorted thru in a timely manner if the seller is present..And alot of times the seller isnt present when his loads arrive so rather then disrupt the plan of the day product gets weighed in and properley plackered then staged in its order of presidence. I am not the one to sort thru the boards I have two well experienced employees to sort. I will however welcome the first time seller and answer as many questions as i can while his product is being sorted thru.

I dont see see any questions as nit picking because I used to be on the otherside of the transaction table when i owned my own e-waste Businesses so feel free to ask as many questions as you like and will answer as many as I can .

All your big dealers do this. Most people here do not work on that volume here people have 100 or 200 lbs that you can sort in 5 minutes. The 50/50 is to keep everyone honest the buyer and the seller. Would you buy something you haven't seen 3.00 a lbs. So the 50/50 will not apply to most of the people hear.

Well said Thank You Scrap Cowboy

Brasscatcher the questions you ask go beyond common knowledge and stray into company trade secrets wich i am bound legally to protect as an employee. I am sorry and please understand my position. I am a member of the GRF where I do not conduct business of any type and maintain a neutral hobby stand point. I know for a fact that your answers can be answered by researching the archived threads or by asking one of the experienced members.

I can answer this for you PPM = .001grams

It's a ratio that's an average of different board types. If you think of this in pounds, it's easier to understand since you're selling to them in pounds.

100ppm example: 10000lbs of boards will yield 1lb of gold.

(X)PPM can be thought of as (Original Weight)/1,000,000 * (X)

I don't think so.
1000g*100Kg=100,000g
1000g*1000Kg=1,000,000g

1ppm in grams is 1g/1,000,000g

100ppm will have to be 100g/1,000,000g

PPM is usually done in a tone or 22000 pounds. this make the math easier.

If I had 20k lbs of boards I would be going direct to a refiner. No I do not buy anything sight unseen, but I wouldn't sell something to a stranger and wait 5 days for a payment either that is worth thousands of dollars. The original post did not differentiate between 100# or 1 gaylord, which is why asked what I asked.

Sean- thanks for the honest responses and the information you provided. I only asked about the pgm content since since you provided some info regarding the Au content. I do understand those are closely guarded secrets and I can access them as well on the grf.
You may want to list a price for each individual type of hd board if that is how you are buying them. It will make the sorting process on your end easier as well.

Good luck with your business and I am sure that since you outed yourself as a member of the grf you will be getting some questions regarding refining and possibly contribute to those discussions here. There are a few members from over there that are members here that have contributed their knowledge on the subject.

One last question, are you refining your own material or do you work with a refiner that you would recommend to people? I ask this since there is a thread on here asking about honest and reputable refiners to work with.

I am confused if you had 20K lbs of boards wich COULD be worth 10s of thousands dollars ( NO Guarantee ) . You would pay up front for all shipping, Broker fee's, Customs fee's, Trucking Fee's , Container Fee's, Import fee's, and insurance with NO MONEY up front for you product. Then wait 120 days for them to tell you what your product is worth hoping the metals didnt go down. But you wouldnt sell me a few thousand dollars worth of boards (knowing the prices your getting) with 50% payment up front and remainder within 5 days.

I think you hurt my feeling
