    Hello Polecat,
    tantal capacitors are worth removing them, but you will need a lot of them to collect a quantity worth selling.
    Tantal is worth about 235$ / lb and most tantal capacitors are around 25% tantal. So the price I get from my dealer is 50-80$ / lb.
    Not every capacitor is tantal ! google it
