PSU: Keep Wires Or Not?

My question is though would you keep the wires on or off? I think the difference is about $0.05/lb with wires on/off and I am not sure the average weight of the wires cut from outside the PSU enclosure but they are almost always copper.



I have three trash barrels full of wire I have been procrastinating processing, I may just sell them as is without stripping. What is your opinion(s) should I sell the PSUs as is or throw the wire in my barrels for 5-cents less per pound??

Locally I have been able to sell the power supplies for a little over shred without the wires. So I have been cutting them off with my angle grinder which is very fast for doing many at the same time. Good luck, Mike
