    My point is this:



    I don't pay for scrap power supplies:
    They are all free to me.
    I simply compared how much I would NET for the supplies when I scrapped them to what I could sell them for whole.
    The difference was only a few cents.
    There was no advantage to stripping them.

    It's the same with smaller gauge wire. If you weigh the insulation and the copper, you don't make any more for stripping the wire.
    They simply are paying you for the percentage of copper in the wire.
    I learned it from the web.
    It is called Optimization.
    Do the math & compare it to the price of the complete unit.
    If someone can Show Me The Money with standard PC power supplies, please edgikate me!
