What have I got, shredder motors, gold?

A few pictures uploading.
A couple of motors pulled out of 2 cross cut shredders. Am I right to think this is mostly iron, copper wire and plastic. Anything I'm missing?

The larger of these 2 I pulled from a printer power cable (the end that goes in the printer) and the smaller from a circuit board I think. Are these Gold? Copper?

Any info greatly appreciated


Still can't get the pics working so a link will do for now, but will keep trying

Need to post at least 10 times. Before you can post pictures.

Goes with cmbm or elctic motors and some wire...

electric motors, cut wire off and throw in bucket...unfortunately, not gold....and not worth much in general sadly. But the bucket does fill up and if you are going anyways, might as well take them along for a few bucks...

Does this go for the little bits that connect power to printer also~?
If so I reckon insulated cable is how it shall stay

pic 2 and 3 I would just throw in with copper bearing...it's not worth the time for me to cut it open with a cutting disk and get copper (ESPECIALLY with prices what they are)....the wire as all the same except some yard will pay a bit more for the light guage cord that plug into the wall (they all generally have a separate grade for the heavier gauge power cables). The actual motors (you can tell because they will have a part that spins) goes in electric motors....if you don't have someone that buys computer fans for instance, you can cut the part with the blades off the frame and smack off the blades quickly and there is a small motor...I have someon that buys fans complete, so I just snip the wire and throw them in the big container and take them when it gets full....they aren't worth much.

I specialize in ewaste...all those items, cases etc are almost nuisances because of the low payout rates...the boards, ram cpu etc is where the money still is.

throw those copper bearing motors in a bucket...the fans have little motors and the there are little round cylinder motors that have copper...ceiling fans have good copper steel motors too...google pictures or ill post when i get home
