    To many variables to say for sure if you will get $4 out of each one or not. I have seen some degaussing cables that were really thick and then I have seen them so thin that it wasn't worth the effort. Not all degaussing cables are copper either, some are aluminum.
    Are there any places in your area that you can take the monitors after you remove the parts you want? Where I'm at I can take them to the county collection site and drop them off no questions asked.

    yeah i have run into the aluminum degaussing cables in some tvs, but hadnt seen any yet in the monitors. I will start checking for places, i have read on here something about BEST BUY, but having to pay $10 to get that back in store credit. I never had more than a few to dispose of at once. My trash company hasnt put any restrictions on throwing electronics out as long as it fits in the trash container. (hate when they changed to that automatic truck that picks up the cans with the arm )
