Ive been kinda debating setting up a web store and stockpiling the nicer
pci, isa and agp cards that would be otherwise scrapped out at the shop. If
you are in need of a card, let me know and i can set you up with a deal,
tested worKing.
just send me an email with what you need and i will let you know whats in
stock. Idea is to catch the good cards before they end up in the barrel.
Even still ive had about 50/50 luck with getting stuff to work once its out
there.

seems pretty reasonable to me. I'd expect the
cost has more to do with
labor than gold being recovered.
Yes, probably half of the asking price is the metal, the rest is
labor, shipping and handling, and just a plain old premium for the
scrapper to do something different.
Of the metal value, it is mostly gold, but also palladium, platinum,
rhodium, silver, tantalum, and copper. When the boards are melted into
the big ingots, they tend to be mostly copper - and that is certainly
worth money.
Also, just "being a board" has value. Scrappers sometimes need to make
quotas or limits with the refineries in order to get good refining
rates.
I realize none of this will sink in.
