General: Electronic scrap is a very inhomogeneous recycling material. In this case, purchase prices are based on the metal contents contained, whereby the respective gold, silver, palladium and copper contents vary from component to component, from PCB to PCB and from chip to chip, which means that we specify sorting criteria for e-scrap price groups in order to calculate fair purchase values. All batteries must be removed.  Our purchase prices are automatically adjusted several times a day to the current metal quotations.. For larger quantities of identical PCBs or components from industry, we calculate individual purchase prices based on sample submissions after we have determined the individual metal contents in our laboratory.

Class 1-A PCBs

Description:

Class 1-B PCBs are PCBs from computers / industrial equipment which have visible gold-plating and numerous chips / transistors and plug-in contacts containing precious metals. In the case of motherboards / plug-in cards (sound + graphics cards), only old circuit boards manufactured before 2000. Metal sheets and heat sinks are removed, as are batteries.

Class 1-C PCBs are colourful motherboards without attachments from computers (yellow, blue, orange, purple, also green PC motherboards, graphics cards / sound cards manufactured from 2020 onwards / starting from Pentium4 / AMD Athlon PC generation). They also include Class 1-A and 1-B PCBs from which ferrous and aluminium attachments such as metal sheets and heat sinks have not been removed, or from which components containing precious metals such as chips have been removed.

Class 2-A PCBs are PCBs from industrial equipment which, however, unlike class 1 PCBs, have hardly any visible gold contacts. The circuit boards are equipped with small chips containing precious metals, transistors and quartz crystals, but must not contain any components (heat sinks, transformers, capacitors) larger than a thumb. Also included are class 1-C PCBs with attachments.
