    actually they just TALK about gold the most. There is silver, platinum, palladium, gold, copper, and even nickle among other metals in electronics that are recovered. ALL of those add up, but people KNOW gold and they know it's value (nevermind that platinum and palladium prices are not that much less than gold). Gold is the "standard".



    The problem is right now for many elements it is cheaper to dig more up than reprocess, but that will not always be the case. They all have some value and you should take that into account when you are looking for say a refiner. I would want a cut and payout for all the metals...really even the plastic has some small value as well.
    PROFIT is made when you BUY/ACQUIRE NOT when you sell
