Is there any "market" for old electronics, even for free?
Depends on what it is. Quite a decent market for early personal
computers and some more specialised stuff like SCSI cards etc.
I actually found a recycler in driving distance
who claims he will even take my CRT tvs.
That's certainly a bit dubious.
I know, except for some weird situation I won't
find, no one wants a CRT TV but what about....
A westell DSL modem Hub
None here, we have moved to VDSL2+ now.
Might still be some demand there.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Westell-Wir...-/153433002888
still offered for $20 plus 9 shipping,
but does that mean anyone can use it?
They can if they still have a dsl service.
My wifi router.
Some do still use those as wifi access points to get more wifi access in
their house.
a router without wifi?
A few do still use those.
(bought by mistake at a hamfest, when
I didn't notice it had no antenna. Otherwise
it looked just like the one I was using.
Thanks everyone. The guy who says he'll take the CRT tvs will also
thaek everything else electronic, AC or battery, and I'm going to use
what I find in this thread and decide how much other stuff to take to
him and how much to dispose of elsewhere.
I've arranged to borrow a pickup to deliver to him, and there's a
hamfest the Sunday before that where I can just give some of the lighter
stuff to any vendor who might want to sell it and keep what little he
gets money.
(One year I had my own "booth" (tarp) for two days at the Gaithersburg
hamfest, and I did pretty well. Over night, I just left evefrything
there, with prices marked and a couple things were sold, with the money
put under the tarp. Nothing expensive.
I guess IIUC UPS would wrap things for shipping if I sold on ebay, but
I'm not ready for that yet.
