There's always other ways to get those gold in an easier way. But then again, we are talking about more dangerous chemicals to separate gold from these electronic devices. I for one buy old, defective electronic/computer components and extract gold from it and sell it in the market. If you ask me it's surely worth it. I buy some old computer for a dollar (that's a whole defective unit with CPU, Motherboard, etc. **the older the better**) and extract a gram of gold or more from it which is worth about $40. Less all the effort and expense gives you roughly $26-$32 net profit per gram. so just imagine 500 units of defective motherboards, processors, DIMMS, Cellphone Boards etc. The only secret there is HOW TO DO IT.
