    Geo I was ready to make a pretty good joke but I shall curb myself.

    That is a lot of television sets to scrap. How did you come by such a load or have you as of yet?

    you do any other time so why stop now? lol

    ad on craigslist. some company upgraded the tv's in a hotel. have till the 25th.

    not sure where they are all going but I will find a place.

    wont hear back till tomorrow but chances are that I got it since they want the responder to take ALL the tvs.

    I am doing it for the repeat business.

    If the hotel is doing an upgrade then these TV's are in working condition.

    There are a lot of ways to go here! Like a tax write off for donating to a shelter and such.

    The guy is unaware of the condition, but best guess is that they are working yes.

    I would either sell them, or scrap them.

    I could do a donation, but unsure of how much that would benefit my company, and even though I have been told (Not sure how truthful it is) that you can be paid at tax season for certain types of donations, I wouldn't know how much that would be.

    They remind me of the 3 stooges in a way.

    That Abbott & Costello clip is hilarious. I've never seen these two because they were before my time but I knew the names. The whole baseball scene had me cracking up! I had tears in my eyes! I'm going to show my wife this in the morning. Thanks for the laugh injun!

    As scrap the most you could make i figure is $800 @ 66 hrs = $12 per hr thats providing you clean all the wires and I believe you know there is only one way for that. Cleanup time is another matter.
    sell them for a mere $5 and you have $1000 without taking them apart.

    I figure if I sell them all, the it would be about $5 to $10 a tv. Then, if I needed to deliver, I would figure in a small fuel cost.

    Haven't really decided yet.
