That fan is awesome. You could of used it as a boat anchor. That's some good profit out of such a small unit! Good score in my opinion

Question to everyone. I found a small bucket of used cabinet knobs which initially I thought were brass then under closer inspection I noticed where some are worn from hands grabbing, the color on those areas is silvery, polished bright silver. They're real heavy/dense and brass color even down the screw hole threads, but the silvery worn part has me confused.. or does brass do that from skin oil over time? They're non-magnetic. Whatcha' think?

[KennyChumsky]

@xIntoThePitx My guess would pot metal, but maybe you will get lucky and they will be white brass. When in doubt put it in with the brass and let the scrap yard point it out to you, or just separate and ask the yard their opinion.

[tdubb505]

@xIntoThePitx one way to find out will be to smash it with a hammer or cut into it the inner metal will tell u what it is remember u get paid for the metal not the finish!

[tdubb505]

getting top dollar from scrap requires time! by that i mean breaking things down and separating them copper,aluminum,brass, sheet iron! even tho metal is sometimes only $0.02 its still worth saving i scrap and i break everything down for the precious metal retrieval it pays off in the end!

[KennyChumsky]

@tdubb505 Absolutely!!! When we first started scrapping we use to not scrap metal... Now we scrap it all.... Can't ignore that it all adds up!

[tdubb505]

the chains are not i repeat not always brass!

[KennyChumsky]

@tdubb505 You are right. We added an annotation to the video. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

[KennyChumsky]

@geekygirl76 You are welcome! Thank you for taking your time out to comment!

It sucks here in Nova Scotia..you can't really scrap like that here because garbage day only happens once every 2 weeks and the only thing that is aloud to be put out for pickup is actual garbage..like food waste, paper, food jars and cans.of coarse refundable cans and bottles`are aloud as well but it's illegal to take those from the curb. the only time you can scrap around here is in the spring and fall at cleanup time when appliances and other heavy metal stuff is put out for pick up. :(.

[KennyChumsky]

@percaine I hear you... I know some people in areas like that are using craigslist, facebook or newspaper ads to promote free pickup or even charge removal fees for appliances. That way they can scrap all year. I'm lucky where I am... Very easy to come by...

[PICKyourSELFupTV]

so how do you get this out hmm... bigger hammer hahahahaha. love the vids and you two keep them coming!!

[1poopyhead]

great vids, me and my brother started scrapping a couple weeks ago kinda by accident. my mom ig getting work done on the front of her house and we took the awning and hand rails and a few other things to scrap, got a nice few bucks and we were hooked. its a lot of work but i think its fun

[TheTorkerman]

[TexasRecycler]

So when steel was at $.002-.003 It wasn't worth Scrapping it was better to throw it away huh? lolool

[threewheelsbetter]

the center comuter out of that fan motor has copper inside of it...i take the copper out of the motor then put it back together and get electric motor price for it... also some scrap is worth more selling it on ebay like catalytic converters are worth 100 at my scrap yard but thay sell for about 140 on ebay once got 10 pounds of brass for 15 off ebay i was the only bidder.. i did a basement clean out at a school and got 83 computers i sold the gold out of them for $8500 and about 200 lbs copper

[MATT69AC]

I have been getting tons of aluminum cans here its only 55 cents a pound not to bad but i also got a couple of pounds of copper. And yesterday I was so proud cause I found some wires from appliances in the trash. And also got 3 key boards not sure what they are worth or even working but not even sure what kind of scrap is in it if you know it would help thanks!

[jcrispy1000]

i only have 18 pounds of copper right know. its currently $2.99 a pound where im at. but i dont plan on selling untill i get about 100pounds of it.

[SpaaacedOut]

[jcrispy1000]

Actually you could probably make more turning it into a wind turbine lol, as those models are ideal.

[clubcar98]
