It's also full of heavy stuff of little value, on an older less valuable polymer board. If you took the time to dissect it properly there's some extra value there. No disagreement there. However we're not tGRF here and most people here aren't looking to self refine things. For boardsort it's all about the laws of averages In making classes. And consistency in sticking to them. Which is what any scrap yard does. If you make an exception for this or that the categories go out the window very fast.
We have quite a few users here that use other sites too, where I'm also a member, moderator, admin etc. Some use tGRF. Where I'm not active enough to keep an account. Others use iScrap or the private Sunshine Recovery. Where I'd be happy to walk you through a total dissection. This isn't the place for that stuff in general. When there's a major offset one of the users will usually point it out. This board isn't one of those cases. Even if you milled it and refined it you'd find the totals in value still working out to around $1.50-$2.50 per lb on this stuff. And that's not accounting for the materials and energy costs you'd be loosing.
Self refining is one thing but I push as hard as I can away from gold buyers due to my own, well documented, personal issue with it I've gone to a lot of trouble to a) tell the standard user to be very careful in selling to refineries, and b) not get your hopes up The number of legitimate refineries that will deal with joe and Jain public is very very very small. The Cash for gold industry is borderline illegal and is heavily litigated. The cash for escrap gold search I just did gave me just 6 legitimate companies in 50 results. 7 companies currently being sued, 1 company up at the top I'm currently fighting with, and one run by a person who was run off of boardsort and tGRF. Hope that puts the standings here in perspective.
