I see people selling scrap gold on eBay all the time. When I was shopping for some Pentium Pro chips for my server, there were people saying 'there is over $4 in scrap gold in each of these' (mangled, and probably damaged Pentium Pro processors).

However, it's plain retarded and rude to list them in 'Vintage Computers'. What at ALL does scrap/salvage have to do with vintage computers?
