As you get older (and have family members with their own sense of order), you'd be surprised how many times you find things, you didn't know were there! On top, when the value of those discards changes as much as it does here, that makes it an entirely new thing, psychologically. So yes, you have a point🪙. And it's clickbait for sure: personal computing is in dire straits! But the fact that you read the article proves the point, that old can be the great new these days. At least it may inspire people to go hunting for those scraps and turn them into something useful. Reply
thrus If he sells it that will be used and from a.private seller so would not get the prices of new or even of a company selling it as when you sell as is no returns or refunds it is lower priced. Also it would be added as income since it was from work so taxable. None of us are going to turn down a few grand extra but that is all it would be at the end of the day a few thousand not 10k plus.
