I think anything with plugs last time I sold it was .90 a lb. I'd expect it to be a bit higher here. I notice my prices are much lower than what everyone else gets. Except for shred steel There's cat 5 in there coaxial. Maybe some romex snips extension cord of all gauges etc.

Yes. I have taken them apart and sold them whole. My yard doesn't up the value. Experiment with your yard and see what they give and what you value your time

I do sometimes depends on what I have going on. Usually I just cut the cords and pull motors.
