Assuming we’re still discussing pins here. Boardsort buys gold plated pins by quote. Pins are sent in to the company where they are scanned and paid based on the value of the gold and and base metal.
They also purchase silver, nickel, and tin plated pins. As long as the metal under the pins is copper or brass. These go in the silver plated brass category. The value difference between the high grade nickel brass used for computer interconnects and copper is negligible.
Silver plated steel pins, like those found on TuffPad and Tough Book units, are not accepted at all when loose.
If you have solid silver pins, which I have seen from time to time, email Chris directly. They may or may not be interested in them.
