That is very true, you will get more on ebay out of it. Dollar-wise, it's always more beneficial to sell something like this on ebay. I sell a lot of material that I get, but I have also been harvesting some things to be refined. Why? It doesn't make much sense, but I just like the idea of seeing the product of something that is collected. Maybe I just like busy work

Think about it like this if you sell it for $800 thats 1/2 ounce of gold you could buy. If you have it refined your not even gonna get 1/4 ounce from that board.
