    many of the parts are useless unless you do huge numbers and/or you live near a buyer. Most yards still do not buy your mid grade and low grade boards. m0st of the stainless is magnetic low grade. most of the copper and wireing is low grade. the plastic is a pain in the a** and can be costly to get rid of. shipping is a killer. if I pay 4 or 5 for a tower, and consider shipping cost I may break even. I have been at it for over a year. you have to use the small sellers as bait to troll for the whales.

    unless you are near an E buyer here is some numbers to consider.



    power supplys .o8 to >30

    wire .30 to .50

    most stainless .08

    mid and low grade boards most likely will cost you to get rid of your going to join the "Gold rush" my suggestion would be move to California or Alaska and get a gold pan a shovel and a sluce box.
