    There's not a huge amount of stuff in a typical television - I welcome them nonetheless. I figure since I enjoy taking things apart and since they do yield a little valuable material it is worth doing. I won't turn them away, but I'd rather not have many of them. Around here, you better not turn anyone away or they tend to find someone else that will take all their items, leaving you with nothing.
