I have several electric motor-like things, they are called

For scrap purposes, they are both electric motors. They are about 100
HP in size.
I bought them as complete units and I expect that I will be scrapping
them and selling off contactors and such.
When I look up prices of "scrap electric motors", I only see prices
published for fractional horsepower motors.
My question is, are large motors valued at a higher price per lb, or
lower, than fractional motors.
The total weight of these devices is 14,000 lbs, so I better do a good
research before selecting a particular scrap yard.

If it works (?) it's worth a hell of a lot more than scrap value!
Scrap value tomorrow vs. as-is value in 18 months of searching for the
right buyer and tripping over 14,000# of it daily in the warehouse...
