Just to add something to the idea of picking and choosing what to break down and not. Get a shipping scale and weigh out what your getting and how much you made and how much time involved.
For example, I was sitting on a 100 cd/ dvd drives, etc. Took like 10 apart, got all the motors, brass gears, etc. Weighed it out and didnt even make $3.00 dollars in a half hour lol. The motors are tiny, don't weigh nothing. And the brass aint much.
So lesson learned. Pulled the boards and rest in shred. cd drives are 15c shipped to a escrap buyer, so not worth shipping. But the boards are mid, so worth shipping those I think. lol.
I used to break everything down, not anymore. Vcrs, drives, toasters, all that, go right into the shred. Cut the coards, pull the boards out of the cd drives, and rest shred. Just to give a idea... Scale is ya friend....:>
