-----How to sell surplus Rhodium, other plating electrolytes and equipment?
June 8, 2008
Dear all,
I'm from Romania and have a plating shop, mostely for Zn, Zn-Fe, Cr, Ni and Cu.
Due to some customer requests I established also a small precious metal plating line in 1liter scale 3 years ago. After all the demand was not high and the Rh and Au prices increased a lot, so I decided to stop that business 1 year ago. I sold the old Rh and Au electrolytes, hooks and racks to a refinery - they cheated me like hell, they paid only 25 � per gram of rhodium and 11 � for Au.
Now my question, I have some unused electrolytes left, like 4 g Rhodium for rack plating, 2 g Rh for pen plating, 1.5 g Au rose
(4-5N) for pen plating, around 3 g Au as PGC, 2 almost brand new beaker [beakers on
eBay
or
Amazon [affil link] glass Platinodes, glassware, rectifier and so on.
In my eyes too good to dump it or to sell it to a refinery
(pirates!).
Any idea what I can do with that things, so far it seems there is nobody in romania who can use that things....
Any help would be nice!
Best regards,
plating shop - Bucharest, Bucharest , ROMANIA

Hi, Dan. You can sell it on eBay for a commission. Good luck.
