They were such a big help with the whole process , it was a first for me and my friends of the grovement being such a big help in these ways that they were doing , and going out of thier way all the time to make sure how we were doing . About a year ago when we started seeing a big rise in covid-19 cases and things were shutting down ect ect ..... Was about to shut down shop because nobody was dropping off electronic's anymore and founding went down with nobody dropping off anything because of covid-19 . I had to take a very small step back and take a small break to save up money again , by saving on running costs and the day to day expenses .

I don't know if I'm going to be able to part with all my cpu's when I go for the gold. At first it was all about getting the cpu's and ewaste just for the gold and other pm but now I think I'm going to want to keep one of each! I'm thinking more of a collector than gold recovery. Which in time the Pentiums, 486's and cyrix etc, will possibly be worth more than double the gold content. Who knows maybe more than 10x!! Have a GREAT Day My Friend!!!

As an IT-Nerd this makes me cry. Imagine being told "You can melt oldtimers from the 70ies for iron." Yes I can, but you can always make a CPU to Gold. Not vice versa, as they will never be made like that again. In the next 50 years the CPUs will become way more valuable. Maybe Gold too, but you could scrap them then. This is just sad to watch. I can understand that you don't have the same love for those chips, but my tip is: Just keep the CPUs for a delayed reward. Instead of the instant gold you can get. Regardles of that a good and informative video. No bull**** but straight to the point.
