    I am going to give some insight into the fingers that these scrap buyers are not going to give you. The scrap buyers will pay you $80 per pound and send you on your way. Theres about 20 different subtypes of fingers. Prices range from $80 per pound-$500 per pound. It all depends on density, single or double sided and the thickness of the substrate. $80 pounds is a base rate, depending on what you have its possible to get alot more. Ive seen single sided fingers on thick boards to double sided fingers on the extremely thin ribbon cables. As thin as a piece of paper or 1/4" thick makes a huge difference. Gold yield by weight ranges from 1%-over 50%. Im sure some peeps are going to call me out on this but just remember that alot of these people are either scrap buyers or have a deal with a buyer so take it with a grain of salt.
