Depends on what you value your time at. Most tvs usualy have around a half pound to a pound of copper wire in them depending on the size and brand. Some unstriped wire which u can either sell as is or strip. Old tvs will have what will be considered a low grade board in them valued at around 0.10 to 0.15 cents a pound. And don't forget the copper wire around the leaded glass tube which is usually wrapped very tightly in black electrical tape or in some ocasions inside a thick white plastic or rubber coating which can be easily pulled out. Most will also have a couple small aluminum heat sinks either on the board or off to the side.
