📊 What Determines Grade Value:
- Copper-to-Steel Ratio: Items like Copper Electric Motors command higher prices because the copper windings inside are more valuable than the heavy steel housing.
- Winding Material: Buyers look for copper; Aluminum & Dirty Motors fetch less because aluminum is cheaper and harder to extract from the motor core.
- Component Density: Heavy casings on Sealed Unit Compressors (Appliance) lower the overall payout percentage relative to the total weight compared to lighter automotive components.
- Core Charge Potential: Many yards pay more for Automotive Starters and alternators because they can be sold as 'rebuildable cores' rather than just straight scrap metal.
