Default Is there any "market" for old electronics, even for free?

I've sold a CRT tv to a collector. Quite a young chap too.


(Would have had to be to carry it down the stairs.)


I still have a massive great Grundig that had to have
2 of us lift onto the low table thing it still sits on.

I might cry if I took it up the dump.


In pain from physical exertion or from missing your favourite device?

Old modem/routers, unless they're good ones that cost
£100+ new, or less than a couple of years old, are usually
close to worthless. The free ones given away by ISPs usually
aren't worth more than the £4.95 they charge for postage.


My Technicolor TG789vac v2 HP is brilliant. Much better wifi
than the previous DSL modem/routers I paid good money for.


It's amazing how much ****ty WiFi stuff there is, things that can't go through one plasterboard wall!
