The only crystal oscillators worth keeping are the big socketed one IMO
Ta caps aren't that common on midgrade boards but they're out there, I have an ounce or two from brown boards, at least more plentiful than trimmable gold fingers on periph.
If you're desoldering Ta caps from periph boards your better off dropping the desold'ed boards at a local yard that doesn't sort boards tightly, you could probably take the Ta and IC chips and still sell the rest of board for 50-75¢ /lb
That's why it's important to learn how every yard you'd ever consider driving to treats you, so you know where your best taking that specific,
Ex. I have one yard near me that buys boards at low mid or high grade, at 7, 50 or 95¢ a lb
Because of their "understanding" of board grading they have all kinds of wacky ideas about what goes where, anything green, even stripped bare, gets ¢50, and color mobos and those little edge strips from LCDs get ¢95, if I need to drop some material locally for the storage rent or have some material I want to depopulate this is how I handle it
