Hello there! I'm sorry if this is already answered before on here, but are the pickups in cd/dvd drives worth anything? And if so what? I usually get the best answers from you guys or on of your members so I bring it to you. Have a great day and thanks for your consideration.

The laser assembly?
If you remove the steel shell that may be around it as a housing you can just toss the whole thing in peripheral.
If you break it down (as I did on what's inside it) you could get a little bit more by sending bits and pieces to multiple places but generally it's not worth the time on doing so.

Well, now I know what to do with my bad ones! Does that apply for all laser assemblies from drives and CD players or just certain ones?

peripheral works for most assemblies AFTER you remove the shell, be it aluminium or steel.
