I had an old friend of mine I hadn't seen in five years stop by my shop last week to buy some electronic items I salvaged out of surplus electronic equipment and computers. As he was nosing around in all the boxes of stuff I had and he noticed my stash of transformers I had for copper scrap. He asked about what I was doing with them and then chastised(?) me for that saying he could buy them from me and put them to good use in his electronics he builds from scratch. I told him that the reason why I hadn't kept them for resale before now was that (1) they don't sell very well on ebay especially since they are heavy to ship and the manufacturer's rarely put the blankety blank specs on the the silly things so you can figure out what to call them and (2) I hadn't met anyone else in person except him interested in buying them.
If anyone knows of some business or person who would buy used copper transformers and other salvaged electronic/electrical parts for resale on a regular basis then please post them here for everyone to see. I do fairly well at times selling salvaged items like large electrolytic caps, toggle switches, barrier strips, ferrite chokes, relays and other electronic items on ebay. It can be profitable selling them this way but also it is a lot of work and hassle to say the least. It would be easier to have a consistent buyer to sell them in bulk.
Please post if you know. Regards, Chris.
P.S. Noxx may shift this post to the wanted or buy/sale section of the forum instead. He knows better where it belongs than me.
