Lost I realize this is an older post, but i have spent the past few hours reading over the forums about gold pins. I made a similar mistake when i began recycling computer items. It was just stupidity but you learn so much as you work through it and read all these important forums. So at this point I have 2 chinese wonton quart sized containers filled to the brim with gold pins i pulled from cables, back planes, server boards, SCSI cables,etc.... at this point I'm not sure it is worth separating. If i sent them into BoardSort as an entire lot, what would the lowest amount I would receive per pound? I certainly don't expect them to sort them for me but would be willing to sell and chalk it up to education. I am also very lucky to work in the IT field so my supply is normally constant. I just began sending boxes of stuff to Chris, mostly CPU's and RAM, and I must say I am very pleased doing business with him. When I realized i had over 65 pounds of Gold Ram, it made me realize how many computers I have recycled over the past 5 years. I live in PA so I recycle the boards here, I just delivered 2200lbs of Hard Drives, MB Boards, Telco, and more big stuff, but it's better for me to send the smaller higher paying stuff to Chris.
