I'm sure they pay more if it is stripped. Actually, it was 2 bins, the wall warts, and random electronics(like an old car amp) were a lower price. He didn't really discriminate on what he took.
It was this place, they were real nice to a newb. I mostly didn't want it all going to the landfill. Totally worth going even if you don't have a ton of stuff.

It's obvious then it was a bunch of stuff from home projects... but did they at all have any signage or questions regarding the source of the material? Am asking because a metric crap ton of oil and gas sites get cables stolen. For example they'll go to a LIVE active site, clamp onto some wires with their truck, and pull like hell and often get several hundred meters of grounding wires, control wire, etc... These people even stole aluminum garbages cans. Needless to say the active site instantly goes down and usually there's no catastrophic issues but it is courting death, plus incredibly expensive to repair.
