Gold is used because it resists tarnising like silver and copper do i think.

Back on the subject,

So in the end it would cost you more to remove the gold than the gold is worth unless you did it in bulk?

If this information that I found it true.......


"In general, a ton of circuit boards yields approximately 10 ounces of gold. The average PC contains about 1 gram of gold. Other metals recovered from computers are platinum, silver, copper, steel, and aluminum"

I would say that bulk is the only way to go. If one ounce of gold is worth about $1,000.00 bucks that means out of a ton of ciruit boards you would get $10,000.

One thing i picked up on was when Final Fantasy VII was still disapperaing from the shelves fast after 7 years of release, I bought 3 games for 15 bucks at walmart, kept them sealed in a box. Impossible to find them anywhere now since they stopped making them. Since last year, depending on the time, I saw bids go over 500$ for a sealed FFVII game. The prices went down a bit, went back up, amd once again are down. People are only bidding a little over 200$ now. I'll see how far it goes up.




is that FF7 for the PC?

I have FF7 & FF8 for the PC, FF7 has all the original stuff unfortunatly FF8 is just the box with all the disks and manual, i bought them for 5 pound, off someone who wanted rid of them... i recently bought FF7 and 8 again so i could play them on my PS2, that only cost me £25

Whoa, hold on a second. $500! Are you talking about this trapezoid box version?
