    True, but if you had 1000 circuit boards, i’ll bet you could find an interested buyer that knows how to do the complicated bits.

      Most of them only take stuff for free. Unless you have a lot of high quality boards. I thought about doing it myself years ago but it wasn’t worth the investment and time for me even with me getting free appliance circuitry from work.

      Once you have a 1000 circuit boards, it makes sense to extract it on your own. These sort of procedures scale well. The more circuit boards you have, the less time it takes per gram of gold.
