Ok how about this , Boards Mem Cpu's & other items , we know there is gold -silver - copper in it - Heck a gold Pentium Pro chip is worth $30 to $40 on EBAY Thats great we all think . So we confidently save all these items. as if they were Bullion .
NEXT - this is only speculation and not happening YET - but what happens if public out cry - nation to nation out cry - create laws stating no more un regulated E waste recycling that even China and others go along with. and or make it illegal to sell metals from these sources unless documents stating that these E waste precious metals have been recycled in accordance with safe methods .
Now who's holding the hot potato.( you and me ) Boards Mem Cpu's & other items value drops, due to the true cost of recycling GREEN . The artificial market is based on lax laws , cause in reality for now any thing goes.
Gold - Silver - Copper in the form considered legitimate - will always have value - but what will your box of gold finger MEM chips you have been saving end up being worth ? - if the cost of getting the gold out triples or even Quadruples .
Now the big question are strict world wide E waste laws ever going to happen ?
