yup, zinc cast $0.45 lb at one of the scrapyards I go to. It all adds up. Thanks for the comment and for watching. Stay well and happy scrapping

@@TinManScrapper thanks tin man, love your channel.

I appreciate the support and comment.@@prisonersforprofit

Yup. I feel foolish that i actually passed them up a few years ago.

Thanks for watching. I just found another one today. And to think I used to pass them up. I learned. Stay well.

You beat me to it again 😂

@@SollersScrappingandDiving I do be watching/listening to the channels I subscribe too while I'm tinkering around with stuff and I hear the notifications coming in..it be rude not to watch.😂

@@aidavewaste2576 😂

Thanks Ian. Stay well my friend.

Lol, yup. Thanks for watching. Happy holidays.

Hi Mitchell, glad you liked it.

Nice pile of copper for sure. I have 2 fans to do, so I can weigh and let you know soon.

@@TinManScrapper Cool! I'd appreciate that!

we've only them small plastic fans that are about 3ft tall and move from side to side.not much meat in them.

Thanks for watching. We are very wasteful here....found 4 of them in 2 weeks

Nice finds on the ceiling fans for sure. I know what you mean, last week I saw a huge copper price with a thick ring of brass, guy prob. got less than half price of what he should have if he separated them

@@TinManScrapper ikr? the problem is (down here) the scrap yard paying the best price (right now) is taking just about anything, so ceiling fans with the wooden/plastic blades, lawn mowers with tires, complete microwaves, etc, etc are going in, so these guys pick up as much weight as they can, and price out every day, nothing is getting broke down... well, at least it's staying out of the landfill, would be real interested in seeing how these plants process dirty shred like this.

Depends on the person I guess. The motors do vary in size as well, but in my opinion, well worth it

Not the older ones, but a lot of motors in general are becoming replaced with aluminum windings. Vacuums, fans, etc. Cheaper to make

A little over 3 thousand. Good time to sell since it just went to property taxes and other bills.

@@TinManScrapper that's a good idea. Well good luck and God Bless. Happy scrappin.

It was magnetic, so tin/steel.

Thanks for the comment Rob. Zero waste is even better. Nice to see someone has another purpose for the fan blades. Stay well and thanks for watching.

Lol.

As I said, it is easier in the vice and do use a vice when I am actually pulling all the copper out, but was trying to show up close and move it around

I know what you mean....passed up a few in my early years. Now you know. Thanks for watching. Stay well and thanks for the comment

I will in the future....going to be getting a forge soon. Thanks for the comment. Stay well

@@TinManScrapper so it’s a little bit expensive to get started up as you need a lot of stuff to get started and you don’t want to start doing it until you have literally everything you need plan for something to go wrong because it will have solutions in place already but after the initial startup cost it will pay for everything you invested and more I promise you that

@@Bonedizz thanks for the comment. Yeah, I am actually looking forward to it. I have been keeping my #2 copper for when I do get one. Just like the wire stripper, I too think a forge will pay for itself soon. Thanks again and stay well.

@@TinManScrapper when you do get started I recommend checking out bigstackd casting I learned a lot from that guy when it comes to forging just like I learned a lot from you when it comes to scrapping he even shows you how to make Nordic gold but your videos are awesome I love watching them keep up the good work

Rest assured, if it works I will keep them, but this one was done. To answer your question, most scrappers try to sell the items intact if they can cause they know they will make more than scrap prices. I actually store up my useable items I find on garbage day and sell at annual yard sale or donate them.

@@TinManScrapper oh good

@@bensgoofyahhfancollection9997 I am sure though there are some that scrap everything, and to those people I agree with you. You would be amazed at how many fans, dehumidifiers, ac units, vacuums, etc that are perfectly fine and thrown out.

Yeah it even pisses off fan collectors

Perhaps, but I was just glad I was able to divert it from the landfill.

I used to work in recycling there’s never a collector when you want one. You learn quickly that antiques have little value when you need them too and they just end up taking space forever.
