    ummm...WHY? Oh wait, they didn't think anyone would notice LOL.

    There are some higher grade boards in those. They ae easy to get to and pull out as well. Now LCD monitors are somewhat more work. I have always gotten $2+ each for the panels on LCD monitors unless they are cracked/scratched....so I put those aside after stripping EVERYTHING else out to sell (note these have to be 15' or larger)....also a great extra income from stripped laptop screens.

    I would LOVE to see prices on these go higher. I know there is some recoverable things in the screens (not sure the exact makeup), so hopefully this will be a trend. Same for the screens from LCD/LED TV's and even the small screens from all the electronic items out there. ::CROSSES FINGERS:: please be another source of $$$$

    PROFIT is made when you BUY/ACQUIRE NOT when you sell

    I pull everything including cutting the 2 power wires that go to the panel (I even pull the flat long board that has the gold mylar) and sell all that is left...so yeah the front panel with the metal surround I guess for $2 each. Unless something has changed since I took my last set, I still should be getting that.

    Right.

    $2 for it is ok since I can just stack them up and take them in with the rest of my lower value stuff (ie locally)...I sent my other higher grade stuff to people on this board.
