    Hello From Detroit

    Lurch here. Just joined and loving it so far. Been into general metal scrapping for a while. Thought id give electronic scrap a try. Have a little bit of everything at the moment. Was going to use boardsort until i saw what you few of you have said about their response time. Basically, im just looking for a reliable scrapper to help me out here. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated

    I think your might get around .21 per pound from one of the buyers on here. I know some scrap yards will buy them as electric motors. Mine will only take them as shred. I would check your yard first. As for ebay, unless they are new, I personally don't bother with listing fans, but have seen some on ebay. Just depends on if its from a popular/newer model.
