You need to tear down the same thing several times to make it repetitive to see if it is worth it. With that you need to be dedicated, inventive, and not afraid to get your hands dirty. This industry is not for everyone. I've only been on this forum a little while and have a large number of people post once ot twice and never seen them again. I strongly encourage you to read old posts as there are several things out there that are extremely dangerous. On the other hand there is a lot of money to be made. I don't mean to sound demeaning when I any of this. Its just my opinion. Wellgood luck and happy scrapping.

RSComputer, I have some questions about breaking down electronics. Do you know off hand which electronics are "extremely dangerous"? Or what I need to be careful with. I know that the lead dust inside the CRT glass is quite hazardous. It is usually ingested by inhaling the dust when the CRT glass is broken. I never break the lead glass when I break down CRTs but, is it dangerous to touch the outside of the glass ? It looks like it is coated with a layer of lead.

What else is dangerous? I want to put safety first I have a couple of people working for me and I feel like their health is in my hands.

thanks!
