Power supply question.

You guys were a lot of help with the floppy question. Next is power supplies. My local yard will only give me shred prices, not motor. What would you do? I am not against waiting until I accumulate a truck load and driving out of state. Your thoughts please.

My options here are about like yours, shred, break em down, or save em for a road trip. I've been saving them but it isn't looking like I'm gonna find a suitable buyer any time soon, within distance for it to pay

I break them down.

Break them , and hoard it, you will be glad when you get the Money.

Just my 2 cents.

I would say check my parts list. You cant beat $4 each

One yard I go to buys power supplies as power supplies. The other yard I go to buys them as copper breakage. Both pay 25 cents a pound. I'm keeping my eyes open for some dell power supplies so I can send to Terry!

the yards around here wont take escrap period, they have a list of about 50 items they dont take, near the top are always power supplies, tin cans and ballasts.
