    Some tvs they contain lots of copper. On this TV since it was big I got lots of copper.

    You get $9 for less than 3 lbs of insulated wire? I know Jesus turned water into wine......

    I am not sure how "less than 3 lbs of insulated wire" can turn into $9. That's my question.

    Is simple 3x3=9 I film that video when copper was 3 dollars a pound. I just round that to the pound which was close to 3 pounds.
    But anyways my point here is that I prefer to pick up a tv instead of a bunch of steel. I see lots of scrappers picking up steel and not TVs.
    Just trying to educate those scrappers that there is money in TVs too.

    Not every locale has free CRT disposal. In many places it is as much as $25.

    There is a flyback transformer tall blackish thing on the corner of the board that you can get electric motor / transformer price for if you are removing items from brown boards might as well remove that also, I just sell my brown boards as is lately for $.15 a pound (I do remove the insulated wire though). When the electric motor and aluminum prices were higher I did break down brown boards as well.
