    Gold

    When i get computers and pull the ram boards, is it better to separate the gold yourself or just sell the whole ram boards as scrap?

    And then sell them to one of our respected buyers here on the forum.
    But if you would take the time and read up, that question and many more will be answered.

    Depends on what your time is worth, keep reading like was said above and you will come to a conclusion that works for you.

    Sell to buyer or someone local who is shipping to a buyer...........I don't suggest refining unless you know what your doing..........I think there is another forum for refiners (Gold Refining Forum) or something like that........Either way Good Luck

    I recover the gold off of finger boards and cell boards. The bigger boards I am throwing in a bin to sell to a buyer off of here. I would NOT recommend doing any gold recovery unless you know what your doing. I was fortunate enough to have a chemical engineer available to assist me with everything. You can hurt yourself pretty bad and if not done right, not recover all your gold out of the solution. If assistance is not available I would sell it whole to someone here.
