I take the ones I can carry myself. If I have a larger one that I can't carry i just get the cord if its still there. I love saving the boards up and in my free time I break those all down.
Yes, I find it very worthwhile.
Yes, it kills time and adds a bit to my bottom line.
Depends on my mood.
No, not worthwhile to me.

So Are the boards easy to sell? Do they have to be all in one piece or will they take them broken as well? can the boards be sold as a mix from other electronics?

I dunno. I haven't sold any of them yet. I've been collecting circuit boards and keeping them in a couple of 55 gallon drums. I was going to list them on Ebay as bulk e-scrap as soon as the barrels were full but in the last couple of weeks I've been learning that there are differences between high/low grade boards and even some of them are worth more than others.Originally Posted by jmurrow3

I've sworn off TVs/monitors a zillion times... every time I'm stuck driving around to Goodwills & Best Buys trying to pawn off the gutted husks with those @$%*&@ing CRTs.
But dangit I'll still stop and get a Sony Trinitron every time I see one sitting on the curb.
At 44 I'm almost too darn old to get the bigger ones up into the bed of the truck... one of these times I'm sure I'll bust something heaving on those heavy bass-turds. But those finger-thickness degaussing cables, those 5 pound yokes (sp? LOL), and some surprisingly high-grade boards make it worth it.

Haha, me too... but every time I slice open a degaussing cable and see that flash of copper and every time I look over at that bucket full of yokes, it pulls me back in. Fortunately, I can set tubes out and the garbage truck will collect them.

Me too, yet I end up with them piling up my shop. A lot of times they are "my in" to doing a pick-up.
