What to do with old AC adapters

Do you have of AC adapters laying around that don't work or the device it goes to has stopped working or been lost? Well now you can paid for it! all you have to do is take a hammer to it to crack it open and the wires out of it but the big money is in the transformer (No not the kind that turn into human killing robots)or as some people call it an electric motor and they generally look similar this they can be smaller or larger and the plastic wrapping may be different colors as well but it is the copper inside the plastic wrapping that makes it so valuable. But Please be careful as this does come with a chance of getting electrocuted so please be safe. here is a link to a video I foubd on youtube showing you how to do it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hzp8xx-MFmE&list=FLlrlKp4KAvJD2RgHF97BVnA&index=1&feature=plpp_video
