FYI: Older and low capacity DDR3 RAM. So nothing of value was wasted.

    True that.
    I shopped around on ebay for trashed/defective ram. It was about 100-150€ per kg.
    And the tree weighs about 3-4kg

    And that's supposedly only for the "gold" in the modules.

    if the cost of chemicals didnt fully offset the value of the reclaimed gold I'd be dissolving that shit off PCBs every day

    That's what I was also wondering.

    But consider the stupid amount of pcbs in electronics some have hoarded in the basement, buying the chemicals probably isnt that far of.

    if the electronics section at the recycle area of the transfer station let you just take stuff it might be a bit better but I'd wonder how much the labour is worth. The electroplating guy at one of my old jobs tried doing it by buying bulk gold plated ewaste and it was break even at best even with the cheaper prices he could get with the chem supplier at work. I remember him being disappointed with how much plating he could do with the recovered gold from a uline garbage bin of clipped pcb ends.

    Nothing wrong with that.

    It's just that our customers don't need DDR3 anymore.
    The RAM also wasnt touched in >2-3 years so it got a new life (and in theory most of the modules still work if you remove the hot glue.

    I mean, you could attach a pi (and a Kafkaesque combination of USB hubs and adapters) to run a ramdisk make a sort of scratch disk ChristNAS
