I'm no longer do my old "smash with hammer" to mine the silver, copper, brass, aluminum and steel. Now saving, sorting, inspecting and batching by type. As time permits reading, learning and occasionally making a call to electrical salvage buyers. If my notes are correct, some circuit breakers can be "reconditioned, rebuilt and certified/tested for resale. Others can be sold as "used but serviceable". You might find some (like I have) that were never installed and almost as good as new, but considered (NOS) New Old Stock. So as I understand the "possibilities" of reselling circuit breakers. There are many types and ratings, as well as three categories of value. I have found two companies in California that buy circuit breakers for the purpose of resale. They appear to want a quantity worth the time to bother with. One person said call them back when I had 10 or more to sell (that was over a year ago). I now have a box of 20 or more that I plan to try sell for better than scrap value. Until I actually do that, I can only confirm there is a "potential" better than scrap value! I still use the "B.F.H." method on the circuit breakers that have obvious problems (cracked, broken or over heated condition), but that's really more therapy than productive (for me anyway).
