Value by item type
For comparing recycling and resale options, different item types carry different value factors — a laptop's value hinges on specs and working condition, a battery's on type and condition, a monitor or TV's on size and display type.
Scrap value vs resale value
Scrap value reflects the materials and components inside a device being recycled. Resale value reflects what a working device sells for as a functioning product — the two aren't calculated the same way.
Why prices move over time
For comparing recycling and resale options, scrap value for electronics isn't fixed — it moves with material and component demand, similar to other commodity markets. A quote today can differ from one given months ago for a similar item.
