    What to do with IC Chips....

    Hello!

    I have a seen dozens of posts that mention IC chips.
    I know what they are, but I do not know their value, who would buy them, WHY they would want them, or where I can sell them.


    If someone can answer these for me, I would be delighted!

    I just sold 668 grams (approx 1 1/2 lbs) on Ebay for $19.99.

    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Ewaste buyers buy them and they used to be roughly 5. bux a lb. They are eventually refined when they get to their end home.

    You mention "refine".
    What resources are in IC chips?

    Silver?

    Thank you for your time!!!
