On GRF, a couple of people used this crowd and had the diminishing results as mentioned by BC above (a couple of years ago now). First shipment was great, second shipment drastically down on the first, then a third shipment had them feeling a bit ripped (I am using a pleasant paraphrase).
It sounds like common practice for them to get people hooked by the first, quick and generous return, then the true colours come out on any subsequent shipments to them.

It's the platinum that really interests me here, since you are removing all (or the majority of) smd components on the boards.
What components are you leaving on that have enough platinum in them to make a button, when there isnt enough palladium left to do the same ??
I have to wonder where this platinum is coming from, I do so much research into what elements are in electronic components, but I couldnt even guess where your platinum came from in trace amounts, let alone enough to make a button.



The amount of silver I understand, it has been used in solder more and more these days. Manufacturers recognised there were less soldering defects like dry joints when using silver doped solders, so almost all have adopted the use of it.

If you can tell me where these platinum bearing components are in electronic components, you might make me quite rich, and you will become a superstar on GRF
