    Scott, I was wondering if anyone bought breakers as is- straight out of the panel and into a barrel. Plastic, copper, brass, and anything else that may be in them all for one price.

    I get a bunch of small house hold sized breakers like 30 amps and stuff but I also get reverse contact switches and molded case switches at 600 amps and just haven't found a decent market for any of them

    You should be able to sell circuit breakers in most any yard for $.15/ Lb or better

    Some yards are getting really picky lately, with the prices dropping. If there's too much steel or too much plastic, they dock you or refuse to buy the item. That's how it is here with one of the more desirable yards in the northeast -- Weitsman.
