Small Electric Motors From Printers/etc

My yard has a weight limit per electric motor. They wont take any motor less than 5 lbs. I currently have about a ½ a 5 gallon bucket full of small electric motors. Any thoughts on what to do with them? I could probably fit 50-75 of them in a large flat rate box if there was a buyer. I could always take the copper out of them but I haven't found a good way of parting them yet.

find another yard, you may have to drive a little further than you normally have to but if you have enough of them it would be worth it.

I've never tried this before, but we will see what happens. I put them all on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=120868940162

A yard in Tampa, FL pays .34 lb for them but you have tto have 50 lbs of them

Man I only get. .15 # for any size motor

You really need to put the weight of the items in your listing. Preferably showing it on a scale with the readout visible. As well, your photos show a plastic bag full of ... sploof. Show some pics of the items in question themselves. Even just take out a handful or 2, and snap a couple of pics.

I live in the Tampa area to which yard are you referring to?

that's mostly an advertisement encouraging people to start hoarding computer stuff lol (were your intentions just to sell some motors? ; )

You can mix them in with elect motors by me just do go crazy with it. Last load of motors I got .30 a lb
