Gold Recovery Fever - Over 165 ounces Tech Gold Scrap from Austin Cyber Shop

[xdir]

If it was so easy/profitable the guy making the video would be doing it instead of selling the items on Ebay.

[mtube620]

this video is for suckers

[makeithappen552]

When I completed the scrap4treasure program I was very excited about all the gold, silver I could recover. The program was straightforward about the potential (you won;t get rich from a few old computers!!!). But I've been diligent and it's paying off. The trick is quantity. Anyone looking for a get rich quick opportunity should look elsewhere. Anyone willing to put in the time and effort will do fine no matter how little gold, silver etc in a sing;le item.

[AustinCyberShop]

@makeithappen552 What a pleasant comment. I really appreciate your personal experience and insights. More is welcome. There is a lot of ignorance and insults from those who have never put any real effort into gold and precious metals recycling. There is money to be made by simply taking it to a metal recycle place. Money to be made when people are hungry and out of work. If your working and have no time, this is really not for you.

[thefailureoftheweek]

its an sd card drive and I can't believe there was 71 comments since I started viewing and this video is from 2010

[mikebola]

@thefailureoftheweek it looks like a piece of RF gear.

[dougspair]

@mikebola my thoughts too, the white ceramic item appears to be a high power transistor package.

Do you know how thin gold plating is? It's a couple of cents worth of gold at most.

[Djbiohazard1991]

@AustinCyberShop

I don't want to choose sides, but if you insult people as a business owner, it's not sending out a very professional message.

This was regarding Whackitov.

Just saying...

[AustinCyberShop]

@Djbiohazard1991 I just noticed that. The comment has been removed. We made these videos to show some of the closeups of the electronic gold scrap we had for sale. It sold a very long time ago. The only reason we keep it going is because there is ABSOLUTELY a lot of ignorance on the part of young and old minds that there is even the possibility of earning a decent living selling scrap. It is worth more than tossing it in the landfills. The message is clear even with the insults.

[invertedlow]

people are dumb.

[jwallbanger]

scrap computer parts are full of pcb's. not really worth it if you poison yourself.

[filipiliescu]

Look, I have 10 kilo of pure gold bar for you to extract gold from it. Just give me money...I'll sell you with discount.

[funnytourtoise]

*grabs gold spray paint* Oh wow... look at all the gold here! There's lots of money to be had! >:D

[Stringyheads]

Yeah Fools gold

[1992jamo]

@Stringyheads Fools cold is iron pyrite.

[mikewatts1990]

600 cash

[TheComputer0561111]

Its not worth trying to refine yourself! You will get hurt or DIE! I found a site called Computer Scrap For Cash>Com ...They seem like a big company and they take small order. I make $200 a week off them...

[senseblogger]

that gold plating is only 5% gold which means you need about 100 of those pieces tkem to place that refines that gold to get paid a few hundred dollars !

FREE home job make you at laest $500 per month proven paying for 2 years !

go here freeworkathomejobs . cjb . net

[Freakawn]

@AustinCyberShop Lol i was like "hey now no name calli...oh"

[creegirl9]

takes alot of work to remove that plating with toxic chemicals, for a very small volume. Also, on the market you're not going to get full retail value for the gold. you get a bout 30-36% from any dealer, because they want a profit too

[superhawkn]

I will go $50 bucks for lot and hand scrap with razor blade

[Quaaludedude714]

your killing Computers , Scrap air conditioners , not Computers , you get more for working parts than for the Tiny amount of Scrap - So Stupid , even if Gold was $4000.00 an once - stupid & it takes the working part off the market - and it could be a Vintage Part ! :( QC

[Canoneosmiami]

youtube plz remove these assholes advertising !

[723398216]

If there was really that much gold in it, you wouldn't be selling it to moronic buyers, you'd be scrapping the pieces yourself.

[cubbycab]

he doesn't say he has 165 ounces of gold..he sez 165 ounces of TECH gold scrap. that could be very very little gold.

[whackitov]

@AustinCyberShop lostincyberslop appears to be rattled :D

[georgeii22]

@guitarbridgecleaner ya thats definity gold trust me me and my buddy do the same thing with it and ya there is more money worth of gold in a computer then there worth with all the scrap in them

[WTMLuis]

gold plate isnt worth shit, unless you have pounds

[kingpin124]

Why are there so many ignorant little children on here that don't understand things. There is gold in TONS of old electronics and computer parts. Yes it's real, this is not a scam. He may only have a few dollars there, who knows, but it's certainly worth something.

Try unplugging your tiny troll minds from the TV for a minute and you might learn something.

[I3eam]

@kingpin124 Yes but it is only a few micron thick. You might only get 10$ worth of gold from 100 cpus. Definitely not worth it. This video is trying to fool people into thinking that each parts has more gold than what it cost.

[chris77777777ify]

I think you should go to Hell.

Your are like the devil. There is not 165 ounces there, if there was extract it your self.

Liars like you fuck the world

[pogpog28]

Hint. try extracting gold from any RF power transistors made from 1970's to 1980's. Gold back then was...you know...

[ew0054]

These were/are RF power transistors, amplifier modules

[AustinCyberShop]

@Plozen Your absolutely entitled to your opinion. It sold a long time ago to a gold refiner and he wanted more. Nuff said.

[Poundingthunder]

@AustinCyberShop You've got a GOOD thing going here. Let the ignorant and lazy continue in their ways, more for forward thinking people. Thanks for the video!!

[Plozen]

If you had 165 ounces of gold you wouldn't be making stupid videos like this.

[AustinCyberShop]

@Plozen I just thought it was neat and super cool that junk that was absolutely going into the landfill netted me over $500.00 and that was to a refiner in Texas when gold was hovering around $900.00 an ounce. Point made.. nuff said......

[kfordjake75]

@AustinCyberShop I'm glad people aren't falling for this. 

[mattsk89]

@AustinCyberShop if you had 165 ounces how come they only gave you $500 i mean that's still not bad but $900 per ounce? 165 ounces doesn't add up

[AustinCyberShop]

@mattsk89 This was one of our first electronic gold scrap lots that we listed ever and it sold same day to a refiner. It was Unbelievable but it did happen and to make things even more incredible, he wanted all we could get. Gold was at $900.00 an ounce way back then when we first made this video and gold is now about $1,700.00 an ounce. People really should get into this sort of thing. If we could only share this experience with everyone. There is money in electronic scrap that is tossed out.

[lazarusthehucast]

@AustinCyberShop lmao I think its funny listening to your bullshit lies, and how nobody is falling for this.

[jamcrane3]

@Plozen

165 ounces of tech gold scrap, not 165 ounces of gold you dork. Do you have the ability to read? Do you have the ability to assimilate information from the spoken word? I don't normally insult people that I don't know, but in this case I feel comfortable doing it since you sling the word "stupid" at someone while demonstrating that you don't know how to read.

[mangirl111]

@Plozen you're an idiot obviously all of it weights 165 ounces. Not the gold content.

[AustinCyberShop]

@Plozen Well obviously if we had a means to remove the gold from our products (requires a factory, industrial zoning, and a large amount of money) we would. Because we do not, we sell to those who have a use for them.

[AustinCyberShop]

@guitarbridgecleaner It was DEFINITELY GOLD! the gold refiner bought it all and 8 of my other lots of gold scrap on ebay. It sells man, I tell you it sells. For some no proof or reason is EVER enough, for others, well, em, they're the ones with more CASH in their pockets than you.

[AustinCyberShop]

@guitarbridgecleaner These sold a long long time ago to a gold refiner who wanted a lot more of them too. I really believe you should get a life or go back to school to improve your education. This video is so great because it truly shows that Gold can be found just about anywhere especially electronic trash. Cash found in trash.. what a concept.

[invertedlow]

You should sell it to someone for 20% of the gold. Then everyone wins.

[Mariannalice]

@AustinCyberShop Actually you uploaded this video on Sept 23,2010.Gold has not been $900/oz. since July 2009.In fact ,you posted a reply here 2 weeks ago that said you sold this when gold was $1100/oz.

and btw thank you for the advice mario,but I am ALWAYS cautious.

[AustinCyberShop]

@Mariannalice thanks for keeping me honest. Sometimes I get responses that are just plain mean. I've been selling this stuff since it was priced at $700.00 an ounce, but gold keeps rising and my story has reflect the rising price of gold. it's creaaaazy.. thanks for the kind response.

[Mariannalice]

@AustinCyberShop Thumbsup bud.

[jyatzy123]

can us how me the gold idont think so u haVE TO GET CHEMICAL AND DO IT AND END UP GETTIN NOTHIN FOR YOUR WORK AND THE TIME AND MONEY WOULD OUT WEIGH WHAT IF ANY GOLD U WOULD GET IM 12 AND I KNOW THAT

[njdevil281]

Don't buy into this scam people

[Mariannalice]

"It's quite possible there is more gold inside this brick here" ROFL!!!!

Thats just a tin plated,copper heat spreader.The same thing that is on the top of a socket 478 P4 cpu.

[jyatzy123]

@Mariannalice EXACTLY AND IM 12 AND I KNOW THAT EVEN IF THERE WAS GOLD U KNOW HOWMUCH IT COST TO RFINE IT EVEN YOUR SELF IT WOULDNT BE WORTH IT LIKE U SAID THERE IS BARLY NO GOLD TO BEGIN WITH

[AustinCyberShop]

@Mariannalice I found some great info on the web about gold refining with Aqua Regia.

It was called goldrefiningforum.

They talk about refining 7.75 lbs of gold fingers with Aqua Regia ( a gold dissolving agent ) and they were able to refine 2.6 grams of gold per pound. I do not recommend doing this without adult supervision, but I applaud you for looking into it. Chemicals can be very dangerous and it's ALWAYS wise to be cautious.

[azkeyz]

Yes I love it , but lets please not melt down the good stuff.

Only scrap it if the part is defective !

Don't just scrap every damn thing.

[AustinCyberShop]

@panzerkampfwagen123

It already sold a long long time ago to a gold refiner silly, when the price of gold was at $1,100 an ounce.

If it was worth that much back then, it is worth way more than that now............. get a life....

[TheTrueJBV3737]

he just may not have a smelt to purify it, someone that does have one could work 1 afternoon and make thousands of dollars profit with all of these.

[annaandchristopher]

when in fact you say there is this many ounces of this or that, you are talking the total weight of the component, not the gold contained. 7.4 ounces of ram sticks may, at the very most contain two or three grams of gold, at best. I know this through experience and through my own personal knowledge and experience having worked in an assay lab and personally having handled gold. hopefully no one will pay you more than twenty or thirty dollars per pound of scrap. not enough metal in it.

[silvermediastudio]

@annaandchristopher Indeed. The gold plating on electrical components is microns thick.

[grraadd]

@silvermediastudio so you need a kilo of RAM components for a gram of pure gold... These boxes look like less gold yielding to me.

[dougspair]

@silvermediastudio Do you have any idea how many Microns? even at 2-3 microns, that's only 1/10th of a thousandth of an inch. Somewhere on youtube a professional Gold Recovery guy was mentioning that it would take around 2,200 pounds of just bare mother and RAM boards to get an ounce of gold. The chips are probably worth more than that? And of course you need the space to work in, a good deal of electricity,and those very nasty and expensive acids. And neutralizers for when you tip over the acid

[silvermediastudio]

@dougspair Typical electronics plating is around 2.54u. Sometimes thinner depending on the substrate and application. I don't know what your point was, you seemed to answer your own question and repeat what was said in all the other comments.

[AustinCyberShop]

@silvermediastudio Not necessarily true, it is thin but quickly accumulates to become quite a bit of gold powder/flakes when processing the scrap (we have looked into the processes behind this to better answer our comments). Besides there are other profitable metallic components within the card that scrap buyers pull out as well.

[silvermediastudio]

@AustinCyberShop When processing tons of scrap, yes. When processing a few pounds, no.

[jhoag536]

You have to recover a boatload if you are out to make a living at this. But I do at as a hobby (see Scrap4treasure) and I make good money on the side.

[michaelberryakabez]

[AustinCyberShop]

Don't I wish i could mine the gold off it myself. A gold recovery buyer bought the entire lot and refined the gold. He said it was worth quite a bit more than we were asking for it.

[whackitov]

if there was that much gold to recover you would have done it yourself.

caveat emptor people, caveat emptor

[TheSpiritof1969]

@whackitov

Exactly. You would have to process tons of this stuff on an industrial scale to get just a gram back. there is no way anyone could even recoupe the cost of any kit of chemicals.

[AustinCyberShop]

@whackitov

Another troll on the prowl I suppose. The gold off these was so high that the customer left us a very positive feedback and asked if we could get more. The customer who bought it from us was a refiner as well. I don't think you even have a clue as to what your talking about. People don't repeat buy if they get burned but we keep getting repeat buys. I really think you might want to consider more profitable refining techniques. :o)

[whackitov]

@AustinCyberShop a troll? for giving my opinion?....if you say so, but you neglect to say why you dont do it yourself if it is as profitable and rewarding as you say?

[AustinCyberShop]

@whackitov We do not have the time, staff, or equipment to do such a thing at this time. Keep in mind that we are largely a seller of used electronic goods (not just gold scrap) so that tends to be our main priority. Gold refining on this level would require more space and time than we currently have to devote to this. It is simply easier and more profitable (when you account for materials and labor costs) to sell the scrap as it is. If you have any questions about this feel free to message us!

[AustinCyberShop]

Hopefully we will be able to post a blog detailing more about the goldscrap side of our business (don't worry, we'll try to make it entertaining for everyone XD) and more about how we operate especially in this area!

[AustinCyberShop]

@whackitov

If your opinion was based upon facts that would be great and this would be over but it's just that, an opinion and I felt compelled to answer the accusations with personal experience which goes back 25 years. I am not a refiner, nor do I wish to be one, even If I am constantly challenged to try. hee hee, I don't want to die by any of the many refining techniques. We have a nice air conditioned office in Texas and absolutely hate being out in the heat. Heat plus Toxic gas = no fun.

[AustinCyberShop]

@whackitov

I'm actually considering purchasing a gold refining kit that I found on Ebay. It looks cool and doesn't use any of the harsh chemicals that can kill a person. iShor Simplicity Scrap Gold Platinum Refining System

Perhaps someday..... maybe.

[AustinCyberShop]

@whackitov

Hello,

That's simply not true. We are in the computer parts business and the gold prices have risen to the point that any former electronic trash now = cash...

but thanks for the opinion.. Always welcome, whether we like it or not.

Cheers,

Have a nice day!

[supadupagmailcom]

@whackitov with that kind of logic, there's so much profit in everything you buy, you should make it all yourself.

Smart people can capitalize in their area, and grow vertical, horizontal, or some combination of both if they want. No one is obligated to do it the way YOU think.

[whackitov]

@supadupagmailcom my point was that the title is Over 165 ounces Tech Gold Scrap from Austin Cyber Shop, break it down a little...165 ounces tech gold scrap...might suggest to the unwitting that there is 165 oz of gold to be had from this shit, what it should say is 10lb of tech scrap for gold reclamation.....my problem is with the guys wording, its a bit like a politicians speech, loaded with ambiguity for the purposes of missleading the gullible....besides, who the fuck asked YOU??

[AustinCyberShop]

@supadupagmailcom Yep, yer right... 165 ounces x $1,600 bucks and ounce.. will have people thinking that there's millions.. man people are not that stupid... or think that far out side of the box. One ounce, just and ounce and it's $1,600.00 bucks, one half ounce and it's $800.00, just 1/10 of an ounce and it's $160.00 it doesn't take much to add up. Put on yer thinking cap friend.

[3rdRangerBat1000]

@AustinCyberShop You might have around 14 grams when it is all refined. Current spot -15% at .995 sold is around $670-$692. Just saying. One hobby I have is panning and sluice boxing streams in NW Georgia. I love the color. lol

[silvermediastudio]

@3rdRangerBat1000 Unless you simply enjoy the outdoors, I'd say don't waste your time. Those areas are generally controlled and you can't pull out anything meaningful.

[jhoag536]

Cool. This add to what I'm learning about where and how to find scrap gold/silver. did Scrap4treasure. Huge help.
