    tv falls apart in my hands

    My Moms friends cousin had some tvs to get rid of so i said that I'd take them. I load the 1st one no problem. Then I go to pick up the second one and the back cracks-whatever. Iget it on the porch of her hose and pieces start breaking off like crazy. By the time I make it to the truck the whole back ig gone. This was not even that old of a tv either! WTF?????????????????????

    Yep, sounds like maybe they dropped it or it had some abuse on it before you picked it up. They could have just set the back, back on it and it started to fall apart when you were carrying it. I would try and make your time worth while and see if you can see any of the scrap metal somewhere. Depending on what kind of tv it is, you could potentially make a few bucks!
