I haven't tried taking fans to my local yard as of yet, but I've been hanging on to most of them. I leave most of the power supply fans on the case for shred weight. Once I get enough to fill a large flat rate box, they're going on eBay as a mixed lot just to see what they bring. I figure a bulk assorted lot will be easier and less time consuming than listing them individually.

Mine go in my transformer/motor bucket, I don't know who would trust a fan that has run it's lifespan in another computer and is just waiting to die.

Yeah your right, but for my situation with the overclocking, the case has 7 fans in it, those are good fans and I would set up some server fans like around the desk and make the like a mini wind tunnel in my desk lol. If one blows, just replace it with another one.

When I use them for trade fodder, the folks I trade/exchange with, know they came out of scrapped items. If the stuff worked before I trashed it, I let them know that. Most of the fans I have are in good order. I take them from everything that has one. Again the nice looking ones get saved. If they look trashed, dirty, or I'm not confident in the looks, I toss in the pile that my yard buys from me. I win either way. I either get paid (more then shred) or I get other items/goods I can use in swap.
Trading is a fun time for me. I usually make out like a bandit when I do trades, an not just with the fans. YMMV

wow .34/lb for electric motors! I'm getting $.15 and I bring in at least 100lbs at a time and its a good mix of all diff types. I was told any motor with a board on it-i.e printers where the connections are the small boards aren't allowed anymore but they did take mine.
