needed space so cleaned out the garage of what little hoard I have, some of this stuff I haven't sold before, just curious what you guys think is the worse part of this price list?
Batteries 0.25/lb
Sheet Al 0.42/lb
yellow brass 1.10/lb
dirty brass 0.46/lb
#1- 1.72/lb
#2 1.62/lb
low grade (spaghetti) insulated wire 0.50/lb
electric motors 0.10/lb
cu bearing motors .05/lb
die cast/0.18 lb
304 stainless 0.22/lb
All of it, but it is still better than I can get.
The motors, unless the batteries were Li-Ion.Quote:

Unfortunately it's about inline with what prices are here in CT too. I just cleared out my steel at 2 cents a pound. I am holding everything else ( copper, brass, insulated wire, batteries ) in hopes the market turns around.
I can wait till spring if need be.
Ozzy , I learned to cut the ends off all my wire to get more for it.
If they have gold ends ( monitor, printer, computer wire ) I throw the ends in the gold connector bin and get 70 cents a lb from a buyer on here. The wire with ends off I can get a better price that way. If it is wire with plug ends I cut those off and put them in a bin to take to the yard and the last time I went I got a few cents a pound for the ends ( I forget what they called it)
Its hard to judge since market ever changing. For a good year it was same price as gold ends so not worth the labor. Now it changed and wire less if ends not cut off. Used to be same either/or and wire was worth more than gold ends.
Andyheim- That's about what non-fer is around here except electric motors too a dump again down to 6 cents a pound. Ozzy- I've always cut of the ends of insulated wire. Not that much more work in my opinion...
I have to agree. That's a very low price on motors.Quote:

I wonder why they are buying for only $0.05 a pound ...
