    To me there are two options: Take it or leave it.



    The only time I ever cut cords is when it's something has no value other then the cord, and even then I ask if it's ok to just take the cord. I feel really bad when I cherry pick during curb shopping. The same thing with CRT's, I would never gut a TV on the curb. IDK, It just doesn't seem right to me.
