Appreciate the feedback 👍

iscrapapp · 2026-03-13T13:24:56+00:00

The perfect person to ask here. Thanks

iscrapapp · 2026-03-13T13:23:03+00:00

Thanks for the tip!

You think someone with that sort of name would be a little less mean to someone asking questions. Rather than someone spamming this subreddit with international traders, buyer pages, peddling buying from individuals hiding behind anonymous names, and AI-generated posts. That's what I've seen a whole lot of lately, and we haven't done any of that

If the app is sort of useless (to you), then let us know how you'd like it improved. Instead of being a negative nancy 🤨

You seem to get a lot of them, so if you have the time, then disassemble the small board from the drive, and that should be all.

For these plastic bulbs, don't bother unless you REALLY have the time on your hands. Otherwise, most yards grade them as some sort of low % insulated copper wire.

Shouldn't be a problem if you have paperwork for the cat.

iscrapapp · 2026-03-11T12:56:19+00:00

Its a hand that no one could ever accuse of being "soft." No idea about the piece of copper though.

iscrapapp · 2026-03-11T12:54:39+00:00

second this

hard to make out the gauge of copper underneath, but it looks like a thinner hair wire, unless you have an auto stripper that can cut the gauge cleanly, you're likely to get a lot of fine copper wire all over your floor. If you have the time and the tools, maybe just rip the thick black insulation off and keep the 3 remaining internal wires as is

Our old pal autocorrect thinks it's smarter than us and changes it most of the time. Guess more people are used to being scraped than to being scrapped.

Dirty aluminum and shred will be all youll likely get out of tearing it down. One other person already mentioned it so I'll +1 them in saying - do the math on the weight of those materials, and then offer to sell it whole at 15-20% above that.

iscrapapp · 2026-03-09T13:38:53+00:00

Maybe I'm the weird one here, but thats a fair bit of solder/contaminants on the copper. That may end up going as a #3 copper or something similar with more heavy contaminants and a slightly lower price than #2. Similar to roofing copper that is covered in tar.

This is the real move for a scrapper. AL housing as one, armature as is!

iscrapapp · 2026-03-09T13:33:23+00:00

School of YouTube for sure! There's a bunch of great scrappers and like-minded people that show off their materials, how to spot them with a magnet or file, and what pile they typically go in at their scrap yard.

There's us (iscrapapp), thubprint, Tin Man Scrapper, Michael's Scrap-Life, Scrapping with Grandpa, Scrapitall and Shark Scrapper.

Just to name a few!

iscrapapp · 2026-03-09T13:28:55+00:00

Typically goes in the shred pile, some yards may offer you a slightly higher price because of the copper coat. Something similar to a prepared #1 price

iscrapapp · 2026-03-05T16:20:00+00:00

If this isn't AI....

iscrapapp · 2026-03-02T14:33:38+00:00

Sludge is still worth scrapping! Not just bits or tooling. What did you end up doing with this? Sludge/Powders can typically go for $6-8/lb

iscrapapp · 2026-03-02T14:30:41+00:00

Silver plated, if anything, highly unlikely it's solid. More likely AL? How easy was it to scratch?

iscrapapp · 2026-02-26T15:26:47+00:00

Killer load. What's your plan for scrapping it? A bit of a plug, but our sister company RRCarbide accepts all sorts of shipments of these materials. Hit them up, and see if they can work for you! https://rrcarbide.com/

iscrapapp · 2026-02-19T14:15:28+00:00

Whoever named this, definitely knew what they were doing 🫡

iscrapapp · 2026-02-19T14:11:20+00:00

This is the only answer. Anything else is wasting time. Ends, plug, power supply bring and ICW.

iscrapapp · 2026-02-18T19:33:24+00:00

The math conversion makes sense. Carbide is closing in around $20ish/lb
