Every one of the hundred or so I did in less than an hour had an IC chip but for two. A few were hidden under plastic so just tossed those into the low grade bucket. The really it only takes maybe 15 seconds to scrap one, 30 if it has screws. Another five or ten seconds down the road when I take all the IC chips out. Not worth much, true, but also takes very little time.
