There was one guy, who managed our local SA store, that I could deal with. He'd save broken TV's for me and I'd buy them for $5/each. Usually, they only needed minor repair and I was able to make a few dollars on them. It was a win-win situation for both of us. They were making a few dollars on junk that they would otherwise have to pay to get rid of and I was getting something that I could possibly fix for re-sell. Also, if I didn't like the price on something, the manager would let me negotiate. Of course, they got rid of this guy in short order and hired the current witch. She overprices things; and, from what I hear, she'll bust something up and toss it in the dumpster before she'll come off the price. I made her an offer to buy any broken TV's that come in and she let me know that they didn't have time to save the junk TV's and that they would go in the dumpster. Oh well, it's their loss because the SA is not the only place I can get broken BPC TV's. Now, since used CRT TV's are not worth much effort, I don't have any desire to pick up too many later model sets. The thing that worries me is the older sets that end up in the dumpster because they are either too old or don't work.
