    Motors

    I am taking notes as i take apart motors Vac's sit at .33 to .44 profit if taken apart .90 amp old fashion fan motor has only .5 profit . I am trying to figure why the yards work so close on these motors as i associate yards about making money at the highest %.
    Is it possible yards low ball the small motors close so people feel ok about bringing in the large ones? next I'll do some large ones to see if they have way higher value taken apart.
    My advice on small motors ,do them as fast as you get them as .33 to .44 is $$
