What are you talking about? The list on the counter is not all inclusive. They have always had other categories. Heater cores and copper transformers are not on the list, but I've sold them under those categories.Quote:

The only change for most of us is the learning curve. The more we learn, the less we know.
only specific Motors are purchased as motor price
Well pump - sink disposal - power tools - steel cased motors - NOT even copper bearing any more They are considered MIX
Copper bearing pay's only .10 # any way
Fluorescent balester only old stile no more electronic type's NOT copper bearing any more, considered MIX
There is a scale-down on what is paid
as what used to be the Prime money for scrappers who hunt
I feel in time it may go down the line as to what is - Dirty AL - Dirty Brass and other's
in the end more to dismantle or sell off as is
they are cutting out the GRAY area .

So in respect to an oldie There was a time I could take TV boards put them in trash pails Chop up to save on room
and that was .17 per pound those were the days my friend

That's how I felt when I dumped off 350 pounds of Fluorescent balester's at Mix price I know it's only off by $7 but it's not the pointQuote:

Times change. Categories change. Prices change.
Scrappers have to change also.
I remember when shred was a penny a pound and I remember when it was 10 cents a pound.
When I was 7 or 8 years old I made good money riding my bike and collecting returnable bottles. 44 years later and I'm scrapping computers and phone systems and selling some of it like ram and processors to buyers on this forum.
Roll with the changes.
One of my personal favorites. :)

they would sell what recyclers ( Particular china ) would Buy
In time the customer catches on that the Percentage of metal value is not there
So my Concern : All my computer BOARDS and all that goes with it
Not to scare any one but when it comes to recyclers they are the buyers
changes in law's could quickly change value .
I need sell my computer items , not to say the ride is over
but I don't want to find out it is when I have Box's and box's of them .
OK who buys them Here !!
I've always made it a point to be familiar with the buyers and sellers section on this forum.Quote:

https://youtu.be/xMQ0Ryy01yEYep one yard I go to says all copper content. I take all motors even small stuff good mix they give me electric motor price. But as the price is low could have just sold it as copper barring with the bonus price and made the same.
Were the hay-ho you taking your stuff ?!Quote:

On a side note: I still buy 10# - 60# electric motors for about $0.04 or $0.05 /lb over local prices ( I am not an official buyer )

my area must be around a 200 mile drive from you
Read the 1st post. He is talking about Ben Wietsman. Not sure which yard. New Castle would be higher prices than that. I know Albany''s scale price was $171 a gross ton Thursday. It had just dropped $5. Was $205 about a month or month and a half ago.Quote:
