small copper bearing motors

does anyone know how much the little copper motors in cd roms and printers are going for these days? they dont tell you on the phone

Different yards different prices. One here only pays copper Content $.04 others pay electric motor prices $.15 - $.19

they is the scrapyard lady and i read on one of the forums why that is..people call about copper and then bring in something else and want copper prices ..so i dont blame them for not giving out prices and also letting people rate shop...but i dont wanna take in a bucket of smallcbm by theirself...thanks

If they don't want to give prices over the phone, find a different scrapyard!

I always call and get prices before I haul anything in. That determines which yard I go to.

One category at my yard - electric motors. Doesn't matter if it's aluminum or copper, big or small (0.07 lb.)

You might want to keep track of the time spent to salvage a pound of the little motors and see if the juice is worth the squeeze.
