Any value in remote controls?

[Tantalar]

Is there any value in taking apart remote controls for their circuit boards?

I've seen gold contacts in older remotes, so you decide what your time is worth.

My yard pays 2 to 4 cents a pound for boards. I throw all I get in a bucket until there is enough worth weighing.

I sell universal remotes to a local pawn shop for 1 to 2 dollars each that I find garage saling for free or a quarter. Big thing is having the instructions with them, or a website on the back that will take them to directions.

Remotes sell on ebay for a good bit especially if they are a good brand. Old ones do really well. Much better than scrap.
