Are electric motors worth anything? - Page 2

.25 a pound here untouched. I take all my motors and set them aside while I process all my other stuff and then tear them down when I have all my big items gone. Working out of the family garage is kinda limiting. Just got a second station set up in the basement to handle the circuit boards and copper windings on the boards. Plus it's much warmer inside where I am at.



Bottom line, if you are getting them for free. .25 a pound if you don't have the time to tear them down is still money in the bank. Any little extra is worth it in my book.

.15 a pound up here.

Here(KY). Motors are 22 cents lb right now. The y just droped 7 cent last week. If ur already therethan it is deft worth it. I save mine up and when I make a trip to the yard, they usually but my gas. I even take motors out of vcr and stuff like that(much smaller) but they still pay off

If you are standing there looking at a piece of metal that you can pick up, and have room to transport to the shop, and someone says "take it, it's free" and you have to ask if it is worth it, you might want to question whether you have the genius level IQ required to be a scrapper.

If u don't want to mess with them they u can still sell them as shread/tin.
