I get electric motor price in AZ.

About .22/lb
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.

I get contactors (large relays) used to start electric motors. It takes less than a minute to get the copper winding out from the steel laminates. The laminates go in the steel bucket, the coils go in the motor pile.

I get the same 22 cents for motors and the coils.
Pedal to the metal.
