Could be worth pennies!The way to maximize the sale amount is to dismantle the tripod to get all the separate metal parts isolated. Then the aluminum gets a higher "clean aluminum" rate. Separating steel, brass, and copper also yields higher value. Discard the plastic. Save up bags of cans to sell with it.Many office machine service techs will save up old parts that are often machined aluminum for months in boxes and take the scrap to get beer money. And it pays to strip away all the non-metal bits for maximum value.</blockquote>
