    Circuit Breakers/ Selling usable electronic scrap

    Does anyone know of any businesses that pay well for scrap electronics. Circuit breakers, motor starters, contactors, etc.

    I work for a scrap company and we get a lot of usable electronic scrap I am going to try to sell for more than scrap online.

    Do any of you guys know of any businesses that may be interested and pay well for used/new electronics?

    The market is so flooded from everyone turning in old electronic breakers and starters that only the bigger and newer ones have any real value. You want big money try saving all the hydraulic pumps and vacuum pumps you can and re sell them. A few pumps could net you thousands of dollars. You have to know what you are looking for though. Air conditioning motors are also worth big bucks not compressor units unless they are brand new but the bigger industrial ones that run huge rooftop units have value to for resale.

    A lot of the times those places that will pay you for electronics will be local. I think your best bet is to do some research on local e-waste recycling companies. It is also hit or miss on whether they will pay you. Some only collect and others with dish out the money. I have used a place before called Gazzelle that buys back apple products if that is something you have.

    You really need to read back thru our older posting to see where our ewaste recyclers are coming from. We're not here for our health, we're doing this as a business/ paying bills/feeding the family.
