Nice price list Ben. You should add photo for each type of goods to make it easier for people when they start to sort stuff :) Wishing you best luck on your business!
Hi ben thanks for prices and providing a service not previously available here to scrappers, should be succesful. ppl may think some prices are low but I think fair considering whats involved to refine the PM's and large quanties material needed for small yeilds ppl don't always realise, plus wont get anything close from traditional scrap buyers. MLCC's even takin into acc BME introduced after '95 alot high end still NME and even if only gettin 0.5-1%/kg Pd 5-10g say apx $150-300 plus your Ag maybe 3-5% those figures fairly conservative. I'm doin as a hobby and want to recover the PM's myself one day. its all about volume of material I'm very meticulous depopullating as the better material you start with higher yeilds will get. Mlcc's tricky if not picked self but inclusion other similar smd's wont cause issues during refining proccess only lower yeild. Also surface mounted oscillator's similar to the ceramic based silver/gold ones you like, i also keep all other smd marked with "X" prefix on board often white or black usually ceramic are also types of oscillator's i think? and sometimes small silver monolithic or bridged style things not sure PM content if any? but be interesting to find out. As for tantulum very confusing unless marked with prefix "C" and a "+" symbol on board or cap denoting positive terminal or i assume it's not tantulum once off board diffucult know for sure if not standard yellow or black cap with + clearly visible. Im only new at this learnt basics from you and then researched further, not rushing into refining till have enough volume of sorted material to justify expenses and obtain measurable yeilds, i live local and when/if get to that point would be interested in any advice you can offer or if you are considering any refining I'd be interested in helping out. Keep the vids comin, cheers mate
The silver colored ram sticks, are those fingers tin or do they also have silver on them? These are the boards that I am cleaning now, is the reason why I am asking. if they are not silver then I will not bother taking the fingers off. Thanks for your help!
Thanks for the explanation of boards and all the other parts u went over. I have saved alot of those components and would like to sell, but unfortanetly I cannot find a buyer here in the USA. But ur video has helped me to understand boards and chips. Thanks Dolores from Kansas
The *Mainframe Motherboards* I have are mostly a bunch of *IC chips* and *CPUs* . It's not a telecom computer, it was a *mainframe from 1999* I'm gonna assume they are *Telicon* . Am I right?
That was awesome to see! Love to see the pricing and you get into detail of why it's that price. I Love it! GREAT VIDEO BEN!!! Up there with some of the best!!!!
the last Slot Card CPU you got on 24:20 looks like a PCI x64 Card (Server Raid Card) or somthing ... the Left side of the Gold Fingers Looks exaktly like a PCI card ;)
@ 21:19 that looks like a pcie sata card,probably nab 10-15 bucks out of it kinda quick,slot card with a fan you popped the fan off was a video card,anything like radeon HD 7XXX and up check before you smash them same deal with NV cards Geforce 7XX+, miners will take them off your hands for good money .
RDRAM has the sink pressed on and it be called RIMMS .Buyers for this type of ram DO NOT WANT the sinks taken off for rimms because they have to go look up the chips to see if it sdram or Rimms .They not going to do that and they will pay you for reg ram. 25:28 that is a DDR2 -667Mhz (pc2-5300)stick in your hand not rdram(rimms) .You see PC1,2,3,4 on the stick that DDR and you keep the DDR3(PC3 XXXX and 4 (PC4 XXXXX )sticks because every computer the pass 7 ~ years use it n ddr4 the pass 2~ years.If you have 2-4 gig DDR2 sticks you probably sell them too kinda quick.
www.serverpartsmall.com/other-parts/samsung-pc-800-256-mb-rimm-800-mhz-rdram-rambus-dram-memory-mr18r1628af0-ck8.html just for a pic of rambus ram,The heat spreader always punched on like this.Then u have rimm key sticks you had to put in ram slots that wasn't populated by Rdram on the boards.
funny how you see copper and alluminium has rubish cause for my side of view its the only valuable thing i see ...rly need to improve my ewaste game good job ben
I find $14 per Kg for MLCC's a low ball offer after watching you take on scrap value of MLCC video, even if they put only half a Kg of MLCC.s in and the rest crap you would still come off well at $14 per Kg, Just my opinion any way. You have the right to charge what ever you see fit and people don't have to sell them to you so good for ya if you get MLCC's for $14 Kg.
It's a fair price if you take into account we now have base metal mlcc's, so no palladium or silver, just copper, nickel & tin. mlcc recovery value is based on 100% noble metal mlcc's, not mlcc's picked off everything so that's why.
See I didn't to now know there were base metal mlcc.s, I was only going off your vid on mlcc.s, thanks for some more good info. the only way we learn if people like you setting us straight. Cheers.
