I'm just getting started in scraping and trying to branch into Escrap. What I'm wondering is it worth taking all electronics from toys on up to get the boards, wires, and what not, or just stick to the bigger things like computers and TVs and such?

personally I try to break down anything and everything at least once, and after you get a sense of how long the item takes, and what sort of good stuff it yields, and how much plastic you need to get rid of, you get a pretty good idea if something is worth doing again.
That's like me, i break down anything i get. The way i figure circuit boards are circuit boards. High or low grade they add up. I try not to waste anything if i can help it to try to maximize my profit
Any thing with a plug or battery operated gets broken down. As I figure out whats not worth it to break down, then that item goes in the shread pile. I don't have a low grade board buyer here, so many of those items get mixed in the shread.
It all ads up in the long run. My thought is, Grab what ya can before everyone learns about the law that no eletronics can go in the landfills and they start bringing them to best buy or so.
