We buy circuit boards from any device and pay you for the precious metals (such as gold, platinum, silver, and palladium) found within them. We buy circuit boards from computers, cell phones, telecommunication equiptment, servers, military equiptment, car electronics and many other sources. For computer specific scrap, see what components have value and our purchasing policies.
Circuit boards are the backbone of the information age; they are also the key source of value in E-Scrap. Their precious metal content comes from several sources.

Sources of Precious Metals in Circuit Boards
Fingers
The connectors where circuitboards connect to other boards are usually gold plated. Gold is ideal for any connection application because it is an excellent conductor, is easily plated and is extremely resistant to tarnish. Fingers are very value dense and therefore very economical to ship. We buy fingers separately as well.
Connector Pins

The pins within sockets where other components connect to the board. We can buy connector pins individually.
IC chips and mounted components
Some of the components (transistors, IC chips) that populate the board may be rich in Silver, Palladium and other precious metals. Processors, memory chips and other high performance components often have precious metals inside their casings. The solder may also have silver in it. Some components (resistors, capacitors) have little to no value. Removing large capacitors (which can be heavy) is on way to improve the boards quality.
Traces
Traces are the printed ‘wires’ on the board that connect the components to each other. These are usually copper (which has a small amount of value), but on older or high performance boards, they can ofen be gold.

Circuit boards come in an endless variety of shape, size and function. Most comodity computer boards are fairly uniform in value, but high perforance equiptment can have much higher precious metal content. In particular, boards from:
- Military Equiptment
- Telecom Equiptment
- Servers, particularly enterprise grade
have much higher yeilds. Older boards usually always have more precious metal – improvments in manufacturing processes have enabled modern boards to be made cheaper (with less precious metal.)
Get Started
To get started, please contact us, or send us details about your circuit boards for a price estimate and shipping arrangments. There are minimum quantities for shipping circuit boards to ensure your profitability (generally 50-100lbs), but we can evaluate your boards to find the right shipping strategy.
