    This is certainly an interesting thread.

    Stillwater, you are making an attempt to compare cats to motherboards for refining, which is like comparing bananas and M&M's.

    Did you say 60 cats? Hell maybe 120 cats? Circuit board refining is extremely complex, there are millions of types of circuit boards. Additionally the quality control standards used by the Chinese for manufacturing these motherboards are less than reliable.

    What does this mean? This means there are significant variances. In the world of board refining there are acceptable levels of variances in recovery. Loads out the door are 20,000+ lb LOTS...



    Further more the discussion on what makes a better board better, such as chokes, doesn't necessarily equate to great precious metals or great precious metals recovery.

    It appears your post is more so to disrupt the board and draw some attention.... as well as make the buyers "mad".


    Here is a little secret about assays with circuit boards... well not a secret... I have mentioned this before. NO two assays are the same... EVER!
    The assay is as only as good as the man (men... or women) who performed them.

    In the world of board buying, you can't justify creating dozens of subgrades that will take substantially longer, tie up more cash flow, etc, etc... in order to pay the customers more up front? Most buyers would be put out of business for that kind of practice.

    Different buyers find different ways to manage all of the variables - colors of boards, socket sizes, etc. If you don't like the way one does it, shop around.

    We discovered something that worked a long time ago - simplicity, customer service and reliability.

    My recommendation - (if anyone cares) quit counting other people's money and focus on what you can do to improve your business model.
