Its my second time around in Thailand and I'm amazed that every local I meet had the latest iPhone or Samsung. Where does the old devices go? I'm from a 3rd world country and would love a iPhone 5s for a good price? Does anyone know how these devices get disposed of? Even older laptops

 

i recently took my laptop in for a repair and saw the shop was selling refurbished laptops. i wouldnt buy a refurbished laptop myself but from the work done on my machine i''d guess their refurbished models would be fine.

My wife's family have all our old ones.

Good question , maybe  they are melted and reused as components ?

Where I'm from old tech either go es in the classified or handed down to family. Any good classifieds I could check while I'm here?
