Back many years ago when I first started playing with electronics one of my favorite haunts was a scrap yard that a mate showed me. Basically he had a contract to scrap the govts old E-waste. My mate did say the $$$$ he's getting out of melting down the stuff the place is an urban goldmine. Now for a yard that wasn't there that long and my mate did say before he started he was close to broke, at the rear of the yard was a brandnew BMW 6 series. It was a cheap source of DC motors and metal frames BUT any board with an IC on wasn't for sale as the lot got melted. As far as members saying theres no use getting precious metals out of E-waste maybe they should get out of the closet and look at the real world......
