    I appreciate the replies and yes, I'm referring to CRT's mostly although it really wouldn't matter if it was flat screens. I've had people call me lots of times complaining about being poor and not having any money so this is what I would do. I'd tell them I would teach them how to take apart computer stuff and would give them boxes of stuff to work on for free and then buy back what they would have dismantled. They would have no cost at all. Guess what? Haven't had the first taker and I don't expect any.
    The only local e-scrap buyer in my region has quit mostly because of low prices but also I think because he can't get anyone to work for him. There are signs up everywhere businesses hiring here in southeast Tennessee. What gets me is that I see people out everywhere not working and hanging around someplace. How do these people get themselves fed? I guess they all are on food stamps.
    Heaven help them when the economy finally blows up, the stock market craters and a lot heavier inflation sets in. I hope their EBT cards will cover bread at $10 a loaf.
