Would you buy old ceiling fans for $3.00 apiece?

Would you get your money back from the copper and other metals from a ceiling fan?

no.

scrapwise no, but you can make some money off of them. Take the cover off and pull the wire nuts, the reversing switch, light switch. and then scrap the rest. I got a small box of that crap I just sold for $50 to a "backyard electrician". I think I had 20 switches or so.
10 fans X 2 switches per fan

just something to think about

no.

I agree. The value of the copper and other metals would not equal your costs, PLUS it wouldn't be worth your time. You'd actually be in a hole, value-wise. Scrapping the switches would only be useful IF you had a ready market for them.
