DVD Players.

So I am an E scrapper it started with my work throwing away PCs. I must have thrown hundreds of computers in our scrap bin at work before I realized that I could get $ for them. now I'm running low on work computers so I'm looking for other sources of Escrap. Craigslist is scarce on free computers but I do see a ton of free DVD players. my question is.. are those high grade boards, I would think they would have 2 in them one power board (low grade) and one main board like board that would be a high grade, also a DVD drive worth 15 cents a lb at my scrap yard. what other possible free craigslist items would have high grade boards???

On the DVD players, no on the hi-grade, if there's alot of ic chips maybe mid-grade at the most, same with vcr's/stereo's, tv's/monitors- all low grade boards . NOW cable boxes and satellite receiver boxes have hi-grade's also.

Thats good to know, so its prolly not worth the time/gas driving around picking them up. too bad you dont find cableboxes on craigslist it seems mostly like junk, big tvs that probly have 2 bucks of copper broken down, but what are you going to do with a huge glass tube. I wish there was like a no brainer easy pick up item on craigslist worth more money and drive time. like 10 bucks a stop would be worth it to me!

I don't think there's any easy answers in scrapping, I just keep collecting, sorting, breaking down, and stashing till I have a big enough load. It all adds up eventually.

Ill never do another projection TV way to much trash to get rid of. I get about $5 to $8 per cert/tv. I do more computer crt's then I do tv's but I get at least $5 out of each one. Usualy at least 2 pounds of copper and wire. Getting rid of the glass is easy for me at my local goodwill. This has been covered a few times allready.
