Thanks for the info! gold over glass.

I have some mirrors that were used in industrial lasers...they are gold colored, and I suspect it is gold...does anyone know for sure? If so, is there enough to be worthwhile to recover? Thanks!

Excellent thoughts, thanks so much! I especially like the thought that they now have alot of people bringing it to them...



I have no idea on the amount but I know for sure one box, maybe 2?...

Back in the early 2000's I wanted to sell some scrap. So I called the scrap yard, and they gave me a price per ton. I told them I had alot, and they were more than happy to send a roll off container...

Its a long story, but I have a vehicle that I need to get rid of. I have the original title in hand, but the owner did not sign it. I am not sure if I am going to be able to get in touch with them to...

Believe me, I am a total machinery nut, if this stuff was any good or had resale value I would not consider...

What about transformer type welders? Motor-gen ones I am assuming electric motor scrap, but not sure if/how yards buy the others?

Great, thank you for the info!

I hear you on reselling, but this stuff is really bad...however there is one forklift that works I am trying to sell for $650 with hardly any interest, but I figure...

I have a huge amount of scrap material, machinery, tooling, etc. I haven't been selling it, just keep piling it up. Its gotten to the point now that I need to get some new machinery in, and I have to...

Sorry I wasn't too clear in my first post, I'm buying the stuff to use in my business. (Manufacturing operation) So not mainly looking to make a profit with scrap in this situation, the worst case is...

At auctions, buying equipment to use, there has lately been alot of stiff resistance from scrappers...case in point is a machine I bought that I know from the specs weighs around 5,500 pounds. Mainly...

What a waste throwing the cutting oil away with the chips! If they don't want to buy it back, you can of reuse/resell it on craigslist. Or of course burn in used oil furnace. None of those methods...

Be very, very careful...I would recommend not touching it. What are you going to do if it has a radioactive source in it? (Ie. doesn't need to be plugged into to be radioactive) See the following-

Better tools such as drill bits, end mills and other cutters are made out of HSS not carbon. (High speed steel) I believe you can do good selling this if its sorted as such and you can find a place...
