I have noticed that used PC retail stores, much like used Hi Fi stores,
buy equipment for next to nothing, and sell used machines, parts, even
cables for outrageously high prices -- often 80% of a comperable new
part. On the other hand PCs and parts from 486 down can be gotten
almost for free in the world of flea markets, garage sales, and
friends. I was told by a tech that large companies literally throw
away some parts like keyboards when they go a large upgrade for a
corporate client.
Until there is a an economic market for survpcs visible like the
market for used cars, few commercial concerns will be interested in
saving, making, and selling old hardware/software.
