What's with all of the sellers on eBay in the Vintage Computing section selling ICs
and boards for "gold recovery"? Are they just scamming ignorant folks, or do
they actually believe they're selling something of value? Do people believe that if
they buy some PCB for $25 shipped, there will be more than $25 worth of gold on it after
they manage to etch away everything but the gold with acid? Am I missing something, or are
those sales about as honest as the typical 419 email scam? TANSTAAFL...
Sorry, but I just had to rant there for a moment.
