I'm subscribed to Freecycle and there's a person that regularly asks for:
any old non-working/broken electrical items for parts... I'm looking for any non-working old electrical items for spare parts. Broken/damaged radios CD/dvd players, old video recorders, old style TVs Pc etc. Required for their components- resistors, capacitors, diodes etc.
Can't see why someone would hunt for used components when you could buy new fairly cheap. I'm thinking the person wants to get the appliances for free, rip out the electronics, and then sell the electronics to recyclers for cash. Just wondered if anyone on here had any experience of doing this?
