I'll buy your dehumidifiers for up to $40.00 each!

Yep, more or less the experience I found as well. Those scrap yards that will take them, generally pay "tin rate" for the whole unit. Whether they're properly removing the refrigerants I do not know. I've gotten proficient in repairing some of the Soleus and Frigidaire fixes, and will look to rent out some of the machines for a side business. Beyond that, I've gotten pretty efficient in their tear downs and metal break-downs too. Plus, through all my searching around..... I finally found someone who is EPA certified to remove the refrigerants. For those existing commercial systems that still use 410-A and especially R-22, it is in high demand (and likely to even increase further in value/price).
