What he means is that if he goes on the GRF and asks a question like that chances are he is not going to like ther platerre first replies that he gets from the members. We don't go for the entitelment attitude over there that everything should just be hande to you on a silver platter. We require new people to do a lot of reading and studying on the GRF , it is not because the members there are stuck up or think they are better than everyone, it is for the new members protection and safety. It is dangerous work and if you do the wrong thing with the chemicals it can kill you. My advice stick with scrapping.

And yes totalfish some of us do make money at refining gold. The button in my avatar is about 3-4 Toz of gold.

oh well that was sooooo helpfull. How can this not be a proper forum this kind of question. We all deal with pm everyday. These items are being refined everyday. we talk about "more than scrap value" everyday. Everybody loves to say "search forum asked before" Have you never thought many new people were not here back then to REPLY. I have a new thing we can start saying "if you aint gonna answer the question...don't say @%$#"

This is a scrapping forum not a precious metals recovering forum. Your questin was answered. Why don't you go on over to the refining forum and check it out. We have a very nice gentelman but the name of Harold that you will get along good with.

oh thanks again. My question was Refining at home, has anyone done this successfully. I know which forum this is...why I put the thread in the "really doesn't fit misc. section" Guess I should have put it in Off Topic. Or do those also have to be about scrapping. don't ever want to try refinig myself that's why I am not a member of GRF.

After reading your replies why don't you go to Basic English Forum or Arkansas Redneck Forum. They got an inbred named Bubba you would get along with.

I kind of answered your question about does anyone make money refinning from home. How about if I answer it a little better YES THEY DO.

I flunked english in school. At the age of 50 I doubt my spelling and grammer will get any better

. If the wife has given up after 20 years you are probably fighting a lost cause.

And I proud to be an Arkansas Redneck, give me a cane pole, pack of marlboro's, and a 12 pack of cokes and I'm in hog heaven with my favorite Sow. And Don't make fun of Bubba he is a good friend, we have a monthly remake of Deliverance when the weather is nice up on the White River. We especially like out of town people.

You know, if someone gives you a link to the thread, they've done the searching for you.

One thing that you have to understand about posting on ANY forum is that if you want helpful advice, you gotta do your own homework first.. so you can be more informed when you ask. Secondly, whenever someone says, "search the forums" it's usually because the question has been asked many times in the past.

Think of it as if you went to a buffet restaurant and you asked the waitress for something that was already on the buffet. More than likely she would tell you where it was, however, if it wasn't on the buffet, she would go get it for you.

yeah your right. I just can't help thinking,( And please others reply) this and other forums have been around a long time, and let's say a post is 2 years old. Then it's been getting the "asked before" for many months. Do we not think that a heavily experienced scrapper, that's new to the forum, probably WON'T dig up old posts to reply to and share their knowledge. That's why I am throwing the "you don't have to reply to repeats, but maybe they have some purpose" That's all.
