Which is a big reason I dislike eBay, people who chop
computers and and
sell them in bits, and people who go on lists and ask "how much is this
worth?", since in many cases it's because they're trying to figure out
how much money they can make
...
It's all just money...
Well, I agree, sometimes the machine is disassmbled in a way that harms the
components, or vital components are thrown away/re-cycled because 'they don't
seem like they are useful/valuable' (case in point, cables - people save the
boards, and throw away the cables - as a result of which, for many boards, we
have more boards than we need, and no cables).
On the other hand, if this stuff _wasn't_ worth money, most people would just
re-cycle it, or pitch it. That would be better?
