DD, is he asking $5 per CRT monitor? Is there that much worth of scrap in a monitor to justify the price? Or am I reading your post wrong?

My last monitor that i took apart only came to about 6 bucks in scrap. Picked it up at a yard sale on a deal with some books for my wife.

I considered this one on the high side because it had not just a plastic case but an internal steel/alum shell.

The real question is for me anyways. Do i leave all the copper and items on the board and sell as is, or rip everything off then try and sell it.

Don't know why it HAS to be the black dell ones but thats what they want. I save them up and some guy comes around time to time to buy them. If I have to many..I just send them along the scrap lines.

Not sure about the color but we have a non-profit here that collects old computers, fixes them and gives them out to low-income people. They collect the Dell CRTs that have speakers inside.
