Do NOT throw away plastic gears from printers copiers or faxes !!!

the issue with it is the time involved...$4 - fees nets me right at $3.60 plus a bit on shipping...we will call it $4. Packaging and listing alone will take 15 min NOT including the pulling time....let's just say 30 min on a GOOD day total. That makes me a whopping $8/hr...even if we doubled it only $16/hr BEFORE expenses. Pretty hard to turn a profit on that unless you have VERY little overhead.

Just is not worth the time and EFFORT involved in pulling those **** things...I pull the easily resellables like paper drawers (depending on space and value), cartridge and boards...rest goes in the shred as printers are one of the lowest ROI in terms of time vs $$$ in electronics. Far more money to be made in just about ANY other electronic items except keyboards because of all the screws...it is almost comical how many they think they need to have on any of these printers (keyboards as well actually)....the engineer should be punched in the junk until he passes out that designed most of these.
