    Depends on what u are doing with them. If you have a core buyer then 25% under what you would get paid. If you are buying to scrap them and strip the copper then no more than whatever motor price is by you. Also factor in how far you have to go to get them. They look relatively clean and unused. I think you are going to be up against some bigger buyers for them...good luck.

    Those look really nice. If you took the time to build a jig to test them, those could possibly do very well on ebay.

    alternators scrap between 5-6 bucks apiece with no break down at all or you can make more breaking them down, depending on the profit you want to make and who is buying them from them now I would start at 2 or 3 bucks, it may be hard to do as the few core buyers ive had come by have always paid $5 apiece.
