    Stoves and fridges bring me .11 cents a pound. Sometimes its not worth the aggravation of cutting all of the copper wires out of everything, but I do. I get .83 cents even for insulated wire. If you have a sheet metal shop in your area, have them make you a "homemade" wire splitter. Piece of sheet metal with a hole drilled-in for cord size, then they can weld a razor blade just right for splitting the wire open when you pull it through. There is a nice demonstration on youtube....Search "homemade wire splitter" -Good Luck!
