    Everyone who is wondering about the platinum in harddrives please read Mechanics post above. The most knowledgeable refiners will all tell you that you will lose money trying to have the platters refined for platinum. Time,chemicals and labor costs will eat up any values recovered. Sell them for aluminum, stainless or sell them to a buyer here. You will come out way ahead that way. Use your time better pulling pins or cutting fingers it is more profitable.
