Scrapping 10 AC Units: How Much Did We Make?

[@calowattsmindset]

After the video was filmed, I took everything from the AC units to the scrapyard. I’d like to correct a few things. Firstly, the PCDs are categorized under TV and monitor boards, which are valued at $0.25/kg, instead of motherboards, which were $2.10/kg. Secondly, the copper pipes from the outdoor units, which have the reversing valve that is brass, categorize them as domestic copper. Leaving them as is would result in a price of $8.25/kg, rather than No. 2 copper, which is $9.40/kg. Thank you for watching once again, and I apologize for my mistakes. I’m learning every day!

You should be getting the copper out of the condenser and the motors and make more money

[@JamesTheFolf]

You have such a cute doggo

[@grahamseymour8439]

You bought the air compressors and quoted a buy price and sell price on the scrap but I didn't see a buy price for the AC units if you didn't pay for them that's great profit compared to the air compressors and the way to go. Sorry if I missed the buy price. I just found your channel and have items to sell so I found your channel very informative and understand price change so keep up the good work

Good job god bless you brother❤

Good breakdown. Time lapse is way to go, otherwise it gets too long. We have a fast forward button ourselves. Honest breakdown at the end. Excellent info in these increasing hard times facing many of us. Keep up the good work. Many youtubers get too obsessed with talking tooooo much. Facts are what we come here for, not to be bored by personal opinions and fake stardom..

Thank you for the comment mate, I'll take all that on board!👌

[@cptliekhark1545]

Another good one, cheers for all the information you cover👍

[@ElectronicWasteExplorers]

Great job buddy and good pay day 👍😉

[@calowattsmindset]

@ElectronicWasteExplorers Thanks mate & it's very rewarding isn't it.

[@somersguy]

That’s a nice tool bag u got. I need one like that

[@markminczanowski5799]

Smashing it!

[@Udderfarm]

Huge enough, very informative video mate.

[@pushrodtv6623]

Great vid mate,but Process the sealed units and motors id say you've missed out on $300 to $400👍🍻

[@frankdickinson7063]

I assume any refrigerant was recovered ahead of time?

[@dominicwain5360]

Nice video what tools and brand of tools do you reckonmend to us for scraping

[@calowattsmindset]

Hey Dominic! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Great question, mate. You can start off with basic hand tools such as regular and flush-cut pliers, screwdrivers (flat blade and Phillips head), a shifter, and a set of Allen keys. Oh, and a hammer comes in handy when things don't come undone-you can smash it to pieces! Eventually, with all the money you save from scrapping, you can start looking into a grinder and an impact driver.

[@AmericanDrinker]

They still work dude. Didn't you notice the fan is still spinning?!

[@calowattsmindset]

Hahaha, don't be fooled, I only pulled them apart for the video, I ended up putting them back together mate

[@Adam-m5s1g]

​@@calowattsmindset Man stop lying. GTFO

[@Zsplays15]

why did you scrap air conditioners is it for spair parts or is it just for fun

[@exogator]

Where'd you find the centerlink hold music?

[@calowattsmindset]

😂😂

[@johnnyspaceman1]

How much would you make if you sold the AC's as complete units?

[@calowattsmindset]

Just selling the outdoor units to the scrapyards as is, 0.30c/kg for aircons, would've roughly been around $110.

[@tristanberecz8024]

u makie more money if u check if the motors are copper if it is take the copper out of the motors and compressors have a copper motor in there to get the copper out of it

[@calowattsmindset]

Thanks for the comment! You can get copper out of compressors, but I personally think its bit of a time-waster, not to mention the mess they cause with oil. I'm going to make a completely separate video on compressors though mate so stay tuned!

[@michaelmaluchnik2940]

Clean it all get the copper out of compressors and motors and you probably quadruple your money

[@ozskids764]

Prices your getting mate are low you need to find a better scrapyard to sell to

[@calowattsmindset]

Yeah mate the prices change monthly at my local scrapyard. Some months are good, other months not so good. I think the prices are pretty reasonable for a small town that I live in.

[@Monkey-boyo_0]

you really should wear a respirator when grinding you'll get all that dust in your lungs not worth the money if you aren't protecting yourself

[@calowattsmindset]

Yes... I can be slack on the old PPE at times, I'll remember to start wearing one mate! Thank you for the comment!
