    Flat ribbon cables from printers, inkjets

    Do I save these or throw away? I see these cables in laserjets, cdroms, inkjets

    Usually everything has a value. According to this thread the prices vary all over the place so call your local yards.

    If your talking about the real thin stuff that looks almost like papper, my yard won't buy it so I toss it. You might want to check with your yard to see if they buy it.
