@scrapitall200 Ай бұрын
There is good money in scrapping, especially motors. Each yard has their own prices, so the best thing you can do is check with your local scrap yard and ask them how much they’ll pay for motors and how much they pay for #2 copper. The prices I used in this video are average prices in the USA. Thank you for watching.
