    so, 13# insul. wire, 8# alum. 480# tin and 20# elect. motors got me $70 and some change, I was guessing around $80 and that would have given me a $50 profit after gas, but I suppose $40 is still better than nothing. It was just mostly left overs from scrapping out comp towers and a big @ss dinosaur of a cannon copier (late 80's early 90's, thing was a beast, took two people to load it up)

    A couple of quick questions:

    Were these little computer motors?

    Were the motors stripped of copper?
