Just my 2 cents...even if they're broken, I'd sell them on ebay (or see if they get bites on CL, whichever is your drug of choice ). Personally, if they are a ps2...especially fats, or xbox's I get bids constantly. I have sold 2 broken fat ps2's for at least $40 and have seen them go higher. Maybe it's just my rule of thumb, but if I can sell them for way more than I'll ever get from scrap...I sell!!! Also, just a tip....I've made in excess of $100 for a main board and a light engine pulled from a non working DLP that I've picked up for free off of CL. I know....who TF buys DLP components? People on ebay. Who knows, maybe those "worthless items" won't get a bite...but,then and only then you can throw them on the scrap pile. Just be sure that if you list them, be sure to list them correctly and so that your listings show with simple searches. Just a little due diligence goes a long way.
