i love microwaves its my gas money each week to pick other high dollar items but i only get 15-25 a week. so i wish i got more but my break down in this area for them of course this is an average some are cash heavy lol but $3-5 this includes both large and small transformers and wire of copper $1.20-1.50 of steel i clean and sell the plates for 50 cents each magnets i sell for 25 cents each to crafters i know who love em so much. so between $5-8 scrap value. though its nice when i can sell them to college students for ones that still are good just a quick clean and a clist post for $10 and bobs your uncle lol
