    A pleasant surprise.

    For the second time since I began my focus on E scrap I've been pleasantly surprised. I recently sent in what amounts to an entire truckload (about 40 18x18x20 boxes) of misc. boards without an actual "grade" to them. I marked every box with the best content description I could and broke everything up into lots. Then the known stuff I bagged and tagged separately. The graphics cards were...so so. The take was less than I wanted with the exception of silver, there really is a large amount of silver per lb of card. The market has been up and down but hey that's how it is. I dropped this material off on August 1st and today FedEx made me sign for (about ten minutes ago). The recovered gold, silver, palladium AND platinum. I thought I would get gold and silver...but I was returned everything they recovered. I sent in all kinds of things, bluetooth boards, telecom, solid state drives, laptop screen drivers, inputs drivers for lcd and plasma tvs, the gold strips for the same... hard drive boards, memory...lots of strange boards from pcmia cards, medical equipment, tablets, phones...you name it. I'm glad I did, my normal dealer wanted to buy the lot at 2.50/lb...half my return after the company cut. Shout out to Mudlucky, my first time dealing with these guys at this level and it's been good.
