I rebuild transmissions and there are a ton of parts in one unit that can be used as cores. even hard parts that dont do much can be "remanufactured" to work like new again. torque converters, transmission control modules/solenoids, planetary gearsets, some sunshells and clutch drums can be repaired and resold. cores on an alternator or starter usually are around $15-40 so if the part is worth fixing i usually just do that and its worth it to me. sometimes ill have an old core that doesnt matter to me and doesnt even fit the car and i just turn it in lol
