Nice shout out for our mutual good friend, Ewaste Ben. I noticed at least one motherboard that you left the battery in. Oversight? or does your yard not worry about the battery on the boards?
Shipping from Utah to Boardsort is a lot per pound. I have to pack a box with $4+/lb. stuff to make it worthwhile. I take the main easy goodies off the circuit/mother boards and get up to $1.50/lb. at a yard 30 mins away and take a load of wire, etc. at higher prices than my local yards to make the trip worthwhile.
after I get done depopulating the boards I have nothing left on them but solder . do I burn them and I get a pool of the solder I'm assuming .is the solder worth more or am I wasting my time ? love your program.
I think 999 Dusan processed a batch of those and they were worth more as #2 copper after the plastic was burned off. The gold recovery was super small.😕
So, if copper is going up and copper bearing is not, it becomes more worth it to strip wire and break down motors, yes? Also, would you mind going into a bit of detail on your thought process on what you depopulate? I would think that if yards pay less for boards I would depopulate more. Obviously your thoughts go in a different direction.
In most cases you are correct however the only yard near me that is currently accepting boards does not differentiate between any kind of grade. Low grade, high grade, telelcom, HDD logic boards, they pay the same low price for all of it. As for what i depopulate, given that scrapping is just a sideline for me, I opt to focus on the more lucrative things. Spending hours chasing down tiny MLCC's to hopfully get a pound at some point or stripping tiny bits of copper, I can make better use of my time with other things while still recyling, keeping it out of landfills, etc.
Hey brotha I have watched a ton of ur videos and I am currently doing my very first batch I have 3 pounds of fingers in a bucket with muriatic acid and peroxide and I also went ahead and bought a bottle of hydrochloric acid 37% and added some of that to it as well n then I also have a batch of gold plated pins and jus a ton of plated boards n pins an stuff with the same chemicals but a bunch of plastic is on the pins an stuff an so my question is how many days would I let the plated stuff sit in the acid bath for and I planned on doing this to both batches after I get to straining part I was gonna soak them both in straight hydrochloric acid for a day jus to make sure that there was no other metals in the gold anywho my question is for the plated stuff how would you go about processing that stuff like said some pins had plastic on um so do I process um jus the same as I would do the fingers ur input would be appreciated an thank you for the videos they are so very helpful
Love the intro moose, I really want to say to make your money in the way that is most suitable to you and your situation. I hate that you, bob, and ben (to name just a couple) have recently been having to explain yourselves and why you do things a certain way. Everyone needs to learn that everybody's situation is different and therefore people's methods and processes are going to have to be different. Like you said, you have to do what benefits you the most with the time you have available. But thank you for making videos and continuing to spread your knowledge. I've learned a lot from you over the years and greatly appreciate you.
I've seen other scrappers use an electric skillet filled with sand to melt the connections thus freeing up all components on the boards. Why not use this method and harvest everything at once? Is it because there is too much effort in the sorting process or some other reason?
thanks Poo, would still have to ship them, no local person would be able to get much more off of them, plus with the newer electronics, the quantity of valuable material on them is really dropping.
Mate Hard to cope with the difference in audio levels. If I listen to your voice at a comfortable level I get smashed by all the bang crash. You've been doing this for a long time. Maybe buy yourself a wearable Mike?
the local scrap yard in my area will NOT even buy tin, but 50 miles away the scrap yard paid $115 a ton, just yesterday. 5 years ago i called the guy while passing his business on my way to the bigger yard to ask what he pays, he replied THANK YOU, and when i told him the price the other yard was paying he said that he didnt know how they stayed in business paying that price. just last week i called again and price is still THANK YOU, he is so use to getting appliances for free that he refuses to pay for tin. sure wish i had a nice big building i would buy the tin and appliances as im a certified appliance demanufacturer by iowa department of natural resources , over 1 million bucks in hospital bills took my fortune. myself i sell the tin for no less than $115 a ton, i refuse to sell brass, copper, circuit boards etc... i can always melt that down to make bullets from the lead, copper, and brass, steel etc... any thing on the boards i will refine myself when i think i have enough to make it worth while. nitric acid is made free of charge out of battery acid, and heat is free from the sun several months of the year even here in south dakota.
People feel good for recycling their appliances that’s about it. But there’s a lot more to be made with so many more metals, as you and I know! In my town, if only people knew they could get $10-20 for their appliances rather than PAYING $10 to dump it off at the landfill 1/4 mile from the scrapyard, on the same road, they’d stop there first!
Your getting lazy Moose. I remember the excitement you showed with MLCC's when Pd was $500 an oz. And now you don't even depopulate the good stuff. Thumbs down.
I am sorry you feel that way. But as I have said many times, scrapping is a personal thing. What is time worth to you? For me, I would rather focus my time making more than 100x the profit of scrapping most items by selling them on ebay. A lot of people tend to forget that this is a side job for me, I work full time at my day job, have a family, YouTUbe, Ebay, eWaste pick up, AND scrapping. I personally do not feel like I am getting lazy, just prioritizing where I want my time to go. I still get excited when scrapping, but for different things as my businesses have grown and evolved. All the best.
@@moosescrapper5928 You've taught me a lot about the scrap and metal recovery. I enjoy your shows but would like to see more enthusiasm. You need a little pep talk.
@@moosescrapper5928 I feel the same! Part time scrapper, full time work, family, drum lessons (which scrapping pays for!), two dogs and other home projects. Scrapping comes in waves for me. I love to do it though!
An indoor dumpster diving and depopulating extravaganza from Moose :-) Grab a coffee kick back and watch Moose scrap stuff :-) Thanks for posting.
Mother boards sure aren't much to look at these days!! But when the more vintage PCs come in then it's crazy good!!
Have a Great Day!!!
Love the shirt. Perhaps you will be able to find some free foam board to reduce the eco of your walls.
I always find it very interesting to see how different scrappers go about getting the job done enjoyed the watch ................. Thumbs Up
Awesome no vid to film so get to watch Moose in my workshop today too!! Loving you being back!
Love your blackstone setup. Welcome to the blackstone family!!!

I wondered the same.

How's it going. My question is the acid you use to get the gold off the pins does it eat away and dissolve anything such as adhesive or plastic?
after I get done depopulating the boards I have nothing left on them but solder . do I burn them and I get a pool of the solder I'm assuming .is the solder worth more or am I wasting my time ? love your program.
Would shipping by pallett be worth while? Boardsort does have a new shipping program you should chek out may help. Great video my friend welcome back.
I did not know that! Sometimes the comment section has some great info! Thanks Mike!
I like your videos. After you pull off what you want off the boards, what do you do with the boards? Do you put them with your tin pile?
I would probably make more money that way, but my scrap yard wont let me. Stay tuned for part 2
@@moosescrapper5928 Thanks
Ahh Darn Dem Yard FOLK🕵️..GO BETTER🐶 LABRADOR 🐕HOMEZ 😉🏚️>>🇬🇧🏡 !
Love the new intro moose
so what does yourm yard buy thjose as after depopulated?
Hey Moose, Did you say possible gold bonding wires in mosfits sometimes? That's new to me. Is that accurate? If so i guess i have more work to do. thx
I think 999 Dusan processed a batch of those and they were worth more as #2 copper after the plastic was burned off. The gold recovery was super small.😕

Brilliant again.
Do you sell mother boards to boardsort? If not why don't you they pay good per lb?
Be great if you could sell those boards on to a "next level" micro scrapper who would have the time and patience to depopulate further. Take care, Poo
thanks Poo, would still have to ship them, no local person would be able to get much more off of them, plus with the newer electronics, the quantity of valuable material on them is really dropping.
Hey Moose, have you ever done a hot sand bath to a motherboard? Is it even possible to process a MB that way. Might make a good video in the future.
I would like to see what it is that your removing from the boards. Why are you just throwing them off to the side?
Bueno!
Most of us. Beginners have time. We dont have the means to get good scrap. Take us from start to finish on one item.
Amazing thumbs up 👍
The smd tantelum have killer silver content. To hell with the tantalum, go for the silver.
Been busy myself depopulating boards for last few weeks
yeah I have GOT to stop letting it build up before I do it
Go 🥇🥇MOOSE ♻️♻️🥝DRIVE
The trouble with ewaste in America is it needs to be shipped to China. That's why it's so good for Ben because China isn't that far from Australia.

sure wish i had a nice big building i would buy the tin and appliances as im a certified appliance demanufacturer by iowa department of natural resources , over 1 million bucks in hospital bills took my fortune.
myself i sell the tin for no less than $115 a ton, i refuse to sell brass, copper, circuit boards etc... i can always melt that down to make bullets from the lead, copper, and brass, steel etc...
any thing on the boards i will refine myself when i think i have enough to make it worth while. nitric acid is made free of charge out of battery acid, and heat is free from the sun several months of the year even here in south dakota.
