    Current Pricing for Electrical Ballasts

    What is everyone getting for electrical ballasts sold without breaking them open? I am not referring to the old ones with PCB's (potentially cancerous) inside. Also, is anyone getting anything for the newer electronic ballasts which feel quite a bit lighter than the electrical ballasts. Do the new electronic ones have any copper inside?



    FYI- I went to a local scrap yard (location not being disclosed for privacy reasons) on 6/15/18 and asked about ballasts. They said they are only paying THREE CENTS A POUND, less even than the five cents a pound they pay for steel. This felt to me like their way of saying "We just don't want to buy them" rather than a fair price to pay. Your thoughts?
