Vintage Mil-spec resistors, capacitors, diodes ,thermistors unused

Is there a market other than Ebay for these types of components? I just got in a few hundred pounds for $30. Already sold almost all the ceramic capacitors for ten times that but still have many pounds of long-lead resistors, diodes and more...

My question here is rather than sell these as resisters, since they have long leads, maybe the leads are worth more as copper or nickel or silver or? Does anyone know of a way to go with this stuff?

I'm thinking I will bundle the A-B, Corning and Ohmites and sell on ebay but still lots of Japanese and chinese made pieces.

A lot of military components were gold plated, definitely separate these if you're going to scrap the lot. Depending on what you have you might be able to market to your local ham radio clubs. There's a buyer for copper resistors, but unless these components are very large, or as mentioned gold plated, they probably don't have much scrap value.

Trying to post pictures from my phone but don't see how. ..

where are you selling the ceramic caps for $300 at? also how many pounds was there?

also if you have part numbers and date codes sometimes they can be sold to retailers .
