With a screw gun, I can take a tower apart in under 2 minutes. Each brand and model of tower has a different value. They can weigh 10 to 20 lbs each.

It's up to you to determine if the parts in each tower are worth it. Take a few towers apart, weight the individual parts, find a middle-of-the-road ( current ) price ... than figure out shipping costs, how much you spent to acquire the units, and how many units you can rip up in an hour.
After everything is said and down, you should have a rough idea how much you make per hour.
Now figure out how many units you can get in a day or week, your costs, and how much the guy is going to pay out.



(( Personally - after accounting for high shipping costs in my area - $0.26 /lb seems like an OK price for whole towers ))
