I will crunch the numbers. On 1 Lb of these you are looking at between 2-4g per 1 lb.
Spot price for 1 gram of gold as of today is $42.96
So if you are on the low end- 1 lb will net you $85.92 if you recover 2g
3g = $128.88
4g = $171.84

So you see- if someone pays $250/lb for these.. they are a lollipop.


Btw: It takes 5.33 Pent Pro's to make a lb. They sit at 3.0 oz each.

And just FYI.. we know what a de-soldered vs pulled chip is. We are smarter than you are giving us credit for!



Also the smaller or larger chip size is irrelevant in what it pays. It's the content of recoverable material that matters. That is why a smaller chip 386 or 486 pays more than an Pentium Pro per lb. More bang for the buck.. more gold in the chip per lb.
How many pins are on the pro chip? I don't have one because I didn't buy into the 1 gram per chip hype.
