Re: Old, bad, destroyed electronic components

Thanks for the offer, but I am looking for components, not metals.

I have a small block of platinum available (about 5lb from when Spock
tried to build a makeshift communicator to access the Guardian). It's
cracked and doesn't work (as per your requirments) so I could let you have
it for a modest $171,520 + P&P

Best Regards
Sergio
