End + cord can be a decent chunk of scrap
I didn't know this. I have only ever seen silver colored ends that I assume are aluminum or coated brass. Of course, not knowing about this I never really looked that closely at them either. I'm still learning e-scrap and thought I knew everything to save from the towers and monitors but didnt' know about the cord ends.
