Oh man! I’ve never had a problem with them everything’s been accurate to what I’ve shipped. I’d be curious what happened to you but I’m sure that’s a long story!
Supposedly it had to do with a location move but a highly refined gold bar “got lost”.
After months of complaints and a message that some user here sent them a link to, I complained on boardsort, and they wanted to “fix the issue”, which coincided with the timing of a legal notice from our lawyer.
They offered an immediate payment high enough to be more than a court case would have cost. But far less than the bar was worth.
I’m a well-versed refiner in my own right. I use high voltage to separate all ferromagnetic impurities from a melt in melt state.
That’s why I’m so against people posting about refining. Beyond the let’s-not-cut-into-BS’s-margins, I know the actual realities of doing so.
This wasn’t a bar of melted steel plated pins you find on ebay overpriced. It was a 92% fine antennae melt. With no iron, the remaining 8% was aluminium, carbon, tin, zinc, and mostly copper.
The original post is still here somewhere.
I’ll never forget that.
I’m not the average scrap seller. I really do refine a good quantity of what I have myself and have a good relationship with a pawn shoppe that is over a decade long as a middleman for me to sell my bars.
Boardsort, Chris, has been very open to testing and evaluating the boards I send them. Often things most people will never see let alone scrap.
They have worked with me to properly sort all sorts of stuff. And, I believe any ego stroke aside, I’ve had a minor play in the ever-expanding expanding classes over time.
