I will use a furnace blower motor for example, if you spend the time to strip the copper out, you only make an extra 1.20 off it compared to selling whole, but imagine how less the profit would be after buying them at higher price than what the yard pays for them. So maybe .50 profit?? Not really worth the time if you ask me. so that idea went out the window.

I hear ya. The best way i can think of to make money in that scenario is to get someone to pay you $ 50.00 - 100.00 to haul off the furnace. Anything you make off the scrap later on would be the frosting on the cake.

Your prime gig would be acting as a disposal service. There's pretty good money in it.
