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

Well if its a tv of the analogue type then retro gamers with old consoles or
computers are your target, if its modems, sadly not much call for them if they have a psu though a lot of people might like an analogue psu to replace the crappy switch mode ones that they supply now that make good radio jammers. I was thinking about radios when I talked about tactile, or indeed washing machines or other devices with switches. Brian -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from...

(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. A guy rang my doorbell a few weeks ago having spotted a few car batteries (well 1 car battery and 4 sealed ones from a UPS) lying at the side of my garage (17m from the pavement) and asked if I wanted rid of them. I think you can get a fiver each in bulk, I know someone pays £2 each to a local garage to take dead ones from there, and presumably he makes a profit. 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. Has to be a fair price to bother with that. Ebay take 10%, then you pay shipping. Or the buyer does. Silly way of looking at it. Yours is. When I buy I look at the whole price. Item + postage, or item + fuel for me to drive there. So does everyone else with a clue. So you admit I'm correct. If something is worth £10 to Mr Smith, but it costs £8 to get it to him, you can only extract £2 from Mr Smith. Silly way of looking at it. No it isn't. If you have an item you're clearing out and are thinking of flogging it on Ebay, and it weighs a lot, you can only make the value minus the postage. If it's not going to make a profit, put it on freecycle, The local facebook buy swap sell groups work much better. Maybe they do over there, but here Gumtree and Freecycle work best. Bull****. You've never tried it here. There aren't enough people using Facebook, and it's ****ing disorganised. On Gumtree, things are in categories, you can search for things, you can set up email alerts for when someone sells something you're looking for. I went on a Facebook group and it had about 20 times less stuff. I put a cooker on Gumtree and was phoned in 2 minutes. The technical term for that is 'pathetically inadequate sample' It's a huge sample wen you look at what everyone is selling on Gumtree in the whole country, compared to FB. there will be someone who wants to play with old stuff, Depends on what it is. No one ever wants the old CRT tvs or monitors. People with enough space that just want a crappy screen for a Linux server do. There are far fewer It's "less". Do you have a separate word for more dependant on countability? of those than there are old CRT tvs or monitors. But the CRTs have mostly died, so there's a lot less available. |

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. We have fibre optics. We do too and all the new stuff is, but we also have VDSL2+ and so do you. I could have said the original better. Only in a very few outlying areas. That's not true. It is in the UK. Nope. We even got fibre to the home at 18% a year ago. Not to all but a very few outlying areas you didn't. Look up the BT stats. That's where I got the numbers from. Pretty much everyone has fibre to the cabinet, That's VDSL2+ We name it more recognisably. which is usually 40-80Mbit. Mine will do 130Mb but I only pay for 50Mb. Mine will do 54 (long way to the cabinet over copper wire) but I pay for 38. All of our new ones and plenty of existing houses are fiber to the home and that will do 1Gb I dunno about new homes here, but I've seen a few people have it retro fitted. I bet when their next door neighbour asks for it, BT has to do **** all to join it on, but charge them the same. 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. I virtually never use my wifi. I do for the smartphone which I use all the time and for the kindle and for all the fully automated lights etc and for all the stuff like echo dots, google home minis and for the video surveillance too. I'm trying to set up video surveillance - testing some USB cameras, might go for IP cameras over an ethernet cable. But WiFi is nowhere near fast enough for several 4K video streams. Plenty fast enough for the one for each camera. What is that in English? There is one wifi stream to each camera. What I meant was Wifi is shared is it not? Between all the cameras. Not. Your WiFi access point will transmit at a certain speed, that's shared among all devices. Unless you have two access points on different channels, which is difficult as then neighbours start interfering. It's only for the mobile phone, and only because I run science projects on it which would eat 4G data. Yep, you are a real dinosaur tech wise. I only use tech that I need or want, But what you need or want is stupid with smartphones. ********, what am I not using that would benefit me? Google maps to get to where you want to go with real time turn by turn directions and traffic etc when you are going somewhere you havent been before for a gumtree or freecycle pickup etc. My Satnav does that. you use it for the sake of it. Wrong, I use tech that I need or want. Most of what you have are gimmics. Wrong. Still waiting for something useful. Your Alexa isn't for a start you lazy bugger. |

And don't try claiming that you can just look out the window, I get up in the dark. Same with the cooking timer for most meals, "hey google, timer 3" sets 3 timers at once. Alexa cant do that. |

I just use the bins that are collected from my house. If things ain't recycled at my kerb, they go in the landfill bin. Routers would be though, we get a box for anything electrical, but it's not big enough for CRTs. |

Senile Rodent: "The problem isnt the hairy legs, it's the gross inbreeding that produces two headed unemployables like you." Birdbrain: "So why did you mention hairy legs?" Senile Rodent: "Because that's what those who arent actually stupid enough to shave their legs have." Birdbrain: "You only have hairy legs if both of the following are true: 1) You're quite far back on the evolutionary scale. 2) You haven't learned what a razor is for." Senile Rodent: "Only a terminal ****wit or a woman shaves their legs." Birdbrain: "There is literally zero point in having hair all over your body." Senile Rodent: "There is even less point in wasting your time changing what you are born with." MID: |
