    We don't overlook anything! If you can plug it in or if it runs off a battery, we can recycle it! I love VCR's myself. They are quick to dismantle and easy to separate. What does a commercial vcr look like anyways?

    Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.

    These are high grade commercial VCR's which were designed to dub and copy massive amounts of material.....The board should grade out around motherboard (Notice the processor)

    Look to your tech schools as these are outdated and they are not selling on ebay ( They all work as regular vcr's) Oh well easy money just scrappin em

    This guy is full of crap but here is what they are (not my listing)

    Panasonic AG-5210 HIFI Stereo VHS VCR & Secruity Video Edit Commercial Recorder | eBay

    I bought a whole pallet for $32 from a local community college in an online public auction (Gov Deals) and this guy is asking over $1000 for 18 units

    Notice he hasn't sold any.....I did keep a few to throw on Ebay just to see but I will ask way less than him

    Nice buy I'd say! Never seen those types but I get a butt ton of regular vcrs! I'm still trying to get people to understand what scrap is and I've found if I just tell them that if it plugs in..... we can recycle it....... I get more appliances this way but thats ok(we've touted our business as an waste recycling business), We plan on expanding to other recyclables anyway, plus I wouldn't be here if I hadn't scrapped in high school. Those boards are real nice. Are you thinking $30 on ebay?

    Nice. I haven't had to buy any waste whatsoever yet...... people are just throwing it at me daily! I would like to start hitting up some auctions though. Is that where you got this?
