Gold just hit $1900 an ounce

Hello chaps and ladies,

In 2006 cpucollector mentioned that PPROs were worth $3-4 a chip. Around this time gold was worth $600 an ounce.

This inflates the PPRO gold value price to $10-12 a chip.

However, PPRO chips are trading on eBay for $30 and upwards:

The price of gold may be increasing, however the rarity of chips is substantially pushing up their value.

I haven't traded CPUs since 2006 and I still have my entire collection of 4000 ceramics.

Nice to see this place is still running.

Sam.

melt value on ppros is around $25-$28 in bulk, depending on chemicals used at a gold value of $1700 or so.

Still plenty of old timers here, as long as some new heavy hitters
