[KennyChumsky]

@SethGaier1993 Great info, thanks for sharing!

[threewheelsbetter]

i also scrap and sell on ebay...... i discovered that the best time to have your ebay listings end is between 5:00pm and 9:00 pm on sunday thats when the most people are on...

[KennyChumsky]

@threewheelsbetter I agree usually around 9pm Eastern is a good time for me, but sometimes I list Sooo much I just do not care what time it is. Just as long as it is between 10am and 2am Est... But you are right certain times do bring in better numbers...

Hi Kenny. I took a stove and gutted it out and got $24 including some copper and electrical motors. Do you have any advice on how to break open the motors for the copper?

[KennyChumsky]

@BrotherTuck1973 We do not because of the time involved. Good job on the stove!

[kodibass]

do you or Kenny know what wall adapters are classified as? would these be motors? thanks I watch and thumbs up every vid! love'em

[KennyChumsky]

@kodibass Some people can get away with throwing the whole adapter in as #2 wire, but our junk yard is to smart for that. We have to cut the cord for wire and break up the adapter for the CBM (Copper Bearing Motor) Category. =)

[MNdigger]

@kodibass They are Transformers. same as the big ones in microwaves, and everything else with a power supply. At the scrap yard we go to we get paid .43 a pound for transformers, and the others go for electric motor price which is .27 a pound. Now we take the big transformers apart and get the copper out and get paid $3.45 a pound!! Happy Scrapping!!!

[KennyChumsky]

@MNdigger WoW! Wish we had your prices... =) We usually always take apart when it is not too time consuming. Thanks for the info and Happy Scrapping as well!

Pull the trumpets! even dinged many sell for hundreds on eBay!

Since you eBay; offer to become an eBay Trading Assistant. By doing so you can take consignments & auction off on eBay as a service for the yard which many don;t have the time or web savyness to perform themselves. Although typical rates are about 50-75% + fees (Buyer pays shipping) you get the rest to play with. This way you could still make thousands on the good stuff. I used to be one for 10 months but now may hire one =)

[KennyChumsky]

@Begbucks The instruments were the FIRST item I grabbed =) I have considered doing that. Especially with their horse, but they are not ready to sell it =) As far as the little stuff I'm getting a bigger profit by only buying what I want and selling it for me. Brass is tricky. Some items are only worth their weight and hard to sell because of shipping. I will make a vid when I sell the horns... LOL Thanks for commenting!

[Begbucks]

@KennyChumsky Buying is always best if you have the capital ;)

Like your videos as always!

[Begbucks]

3:08 I always worry when the yard operator swing around that electromagnet - don't want to get pancaked like Tom after chasing Jerry the mouse!

[scrappyjoe12]

can i just ask how much you got for the electrical motors

thanks x

[KennyChumsky]

@scrappyjoe12 Sure - 18 cents a pound - Which it ended up being 8 pounds - $1.44.

[scrappyjoe12]

[scrappyjoe12]

Great video, you guys had a pretty good load that day, I agree you should do more scrap yard videos or somethings like that. Interesting to see what they consider what and such. Good info.

[swinger75]

I thought you didn't scrap metal? You should because all those ceiling fans after you strip them all up quick. Good video. You need more videos.

[punky53]
