    You would better served selling the items separately. Hobby refiners will not purchase lots that require recovery methods they are not tooled up to do. Greenboards are either incinerated or subjected to a method that foils off the gold. Memory is most often incinerated. CPUs are milled or broken and subjected to acids. You quantity is not really enough for a large refiner. So knowing your customers which in this case are hobby or small refiners who purchase only the type of material they can process leads me to believe that breaking it into three different lots is the best way. There are people on this forum who will buy your boards, the memory and CPUs might make more on ebay but there are also people here who will pay you a fair price.

    At the heart of science is an essential balance between two seemingly contradictory attitudes--an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new. This is how deep truths are winnowed from deep nonsense. -- Carl Sagan
