Unfortunately you will never make significant profit from ebay ewaste
Glad I found your channel. Best explanation that I’ve found on the internet. Looking forward to more videos. Keep up the good work. Liked and subscribed👍
Shout out to my boi sreetips
When acid etching you should let the hydrogen peroxide and Hcl mix sit for a couple of days or you could dissolve gold into the solution. You probably got lucky because of the amount of material and plated base metals you has.
These are all timpe lapsed for obvious reasons. But this process takes FOREVER! KARAT scrap in AP is the way to go.
You dont need to use sulfuric acid if youre just processing fingers. The only time you need sulfuric is when solder could have been present like when doing jewelery. And ive said in so many of my videos that its nearly imposible to make aprofit when buying fromebay. People on there ask rediculous prices
Why could you not just soak the E-waste in Aqua Regia? That should just dissolve all the gold into solution and skip the step with the H2O2 (peroxide).
My thing is this besides the mutator acid and peroxide did you wind up using all the other chemicals you bought on one trip or is there more for the next one or two
You can take sulphuric and and potassium nitrate together and distill it off to get nitric if you needed but that’s even more equipment but can safe some money. Save even more and just get the gold stuff yourself for free if you could lol
If you're buying from eBay surely you didn't just accept underweight or misrepresented items? Especially considering how eBay favours buyers when it comes to refunds or arbitration.
Ps.. Sorry for you non profittclip. It is a shame that some people doing that kind of thing Scott.
Arne
shouldve put that one seller on blast... so that other people dont get ripped off by them
But I’m just watching for first time today did you hold on to the gold it’s worth try a lot more today
no money in it if u have to buy computer scraps , no money in those fingers , but lots of money in the other stuff , like the pins ,
I am i Cameroon and I collect this computer gold part how can I sale them to u sir
Thanks I get my ram free got 3000 ram sticks an lot more of others
I get concentrated nitric for $30 a gallon locally, $28 for concentrated sulfuric and $30 for 30% hydrogen peroxide
i would like to know where u shop to get these prices ,,, thank you
Dig your content- subbed
Definitely one of the finer video’s on PM recovery, there’s a plethora of poor ones! Very honest also, I’ve looked at these sellers and always thought their prices are inflated and it’s all overrated but people keep these fools in business?! If people would only stop buying it all until they brought the prices down drastically, because your experiment yielded a 50% loss and you didn’t include your time and effort! I personally do it as a hobby and all the computer parts are for free so then it might be worth the effort, but I would never pay what they ask. New sub 👌
Hello Mr Scott. Arne from Norway 🇳🇴. Thank you for all the stunning great clip.
I have 2 favourite on you tube. Sreetips and you sir🇺🇲. It is so calm to hear you voice, and see what you produce. Thake care Scott, and god bless you.
Thank you!
Goddamn Canadians!
Before I do my very first process of recovering gold was wondering do I actually need a CorningWare dish between the beaker and the hot plate, I actually have bought a magnetic stirring hotplate and wondering if that makes any difference as they are made for that? It's a $250 one not just a cheap one 🤔 I realize that maybe a good for extra precautionary reasons in case of breakage but also use Basilica glass wondering if that makes a difference as well thought you might know. The extra layer may affect the magnetic stirrer
for those guys that cheated you . . . i hope they have the kind of life they deserve .
i have probably close to 10 lbs , maybe more of a mix of trimmed tabs , pins and whatever else looked like gold from computers .
i think i'll just try to sell it because this is too involved for a one time run . i know i won't buy raw materials like you did and i have no other source for the materials either .
yeah . . . Ebay here i come .
🤔 now i just have to figure out how much to charge for shipping . . .
man , if i only knew someone that did this on the regular , they could get a deal .
I plan on doing a video soon and trying to work out the cost along the way😅
Nitric acid i waaaaaay cheaper if you make it yourself via sulfuric acid (cheap) and sodium nitrate (also cheap, like 5$ a pound) and this makes quite a bit of nitric acid, but its best to do this on a larger scale and outside so that you dont have to do it again for quite a while (oh and you need a distilation apparatus, a glass one not the alchohol ones itd tear those apart.) oh ans also yo ucan just make your own stannous chloride by taking tin metal and disolving it in the hydrochloric acid, way cheaper than buying it, plus you can make as much as you need.
Can you help I melted my gold in the nitric acid wash and tried putting sodium met and it’s not working
How do you remove gold from ap solution
👊😎🤙🍻🇺🇸
I have no experience.
Great video, thanks
You can make stannous chloride by dissolving tin in hydrochloric acid which allows you to make it on the fly and no shelf life worries
I think the formula is, if memory serve me here
25ml distilled water
1 gram pure tin shot
30 drops hydrochloric acid
The distilled water amount is where I am unsure. This formula last three months.
Excellent Vid. As an economist and a refiner and a prospector as well, I really appreciated your comprehensive assessment. Well done you!! There is too much BS out there on the 'value' (not) of most E-Waste.
Glad you enjoyed it
So what was the point in all that if you actually lost money doesn't make sense 🤔
Shows you that unless you get the material for free or nearly free, it doesn't make financial sense.
What was the point of watching the video if you're not going to get the point of watching the video?
as i see it , this was pretty much a tutorial with a cost/benefit breakdown .
so , a favor to all of US out here in TH-cam land . you should be thanking this guy .
