oh we have a scrap section!
I just got 99 sticks of computer RAM, all seem to be 256mb and 512mb. They all got gold contacts. weight comes out to about 3.6 pounds total.
Was wondering if anyone knew how I could cash in on this, or if you even can.

$17.00-20.00 a pound on E-Bay right now. What do you think of that?:-)

You can but with the price og gold dropping it may be harder to get a buyer. I think silversaddle on here has lots of contacts. Maybe he will chime in...

oh ok That's better than I was expecting. We had a city-wide garage sale today and I got em off someone for $4. had no idea what I'd get for them but I was willing to take the tiny risk.
Also picked up a copper pitcher for $1. It's some antique replica. a little over half a pound of copper. Thank you for the info. I'll check ebay.

Last I knew, you could get $3 or $4 per pound for motherboards. Certainly higher now.
