    Well, they do have a decent green motherboard and usually a cd drive with a good grade board in it. However, they are a pain to deal with unless you like breaking down monitors anyway, then you could scrap out the copper in those. I had around 40 of them and did ok because I got them for $1 each, but I was really glad to get done with them.

    I did 80, all at once and I learned a lot. It burned me from all TV's and monitors for about 3 months but I did get really fast and really efficient towards the end. I got mine for 100$ Made money of course but not a lot for my time and the glass was a PITA to dispose of properly.

    Sure they are worth something. I wouldn't pay more than .40 a piece. As posted above, they are some work, there is a lot of unwanted material to dispose of, and you really don't know what's left after someone pulled the hard drive and ram (they could have pulled more). You are pretty much looking at a TV with an 8oz motherboard.

    You are far better off picking up one and taking it apart PRIOR to buying several and being disappointed, possibly losing money.

    They're super heavy/awkward to ship. Might get maybe $20 out of it on ebay if you add ram and a HDD and get it working. I wouldnt pay for them either. Like said above, they are a pain to scrap unless you do a lot of scrapping anyway.
