Buying across the United States
Sell Burned-Out Electric Motors & Copper Rewind Scrap
I'm Niko, and I'm looking to buy burned-out, failed, and non-running electric motors, motor cores, and copper windings from motor repair and rewind shops across the United States. Have old motors or copper rewind scrap taking up space at your shop? Send me photos, the quantity, and your city or ZIP. Working surplus motors and copper tubing can also be considered. A readable nameplate helps, but you don't need to get a motor running before reaching out.
Have cable reels or loose wire instead? See what to send when you sell your copper wire, tubing and copper scrap.
For motor repair and rewind shops
Sell failed motors, cores and copper windings from your shop
If motors have been rejected for repair or winding material is building up, send me the lot details before spending time dismantling or sorting it. I buy material, not motor-repair services.
Whole motors and cores
Tell me which motors are burned out, seized, incomplete or untested. Include the motor count, nameplate photos when available, and whether the lot contains armatures, stators or rotors.
Removed winding material
Send an overview and close-up photos of the coils or windings. Tell me whether the material is copper, aluminum or mixed if known, and give an estimated weight or number of bins. Please label estimates as estimates.
Ownership and pickup details
Confirm that your shop owns the material or is authorized to sell it. Include your ZIP code, loading access and any existing disposal agreement. Pickup or freight and the purchase price are discussed for the actual lot.
Email Niko Your Motor-Shop Lot or call 321-977-1194. No need to energize a failed motor for a quote.
