Surprise high dollar eWaste finds #shorts

I love asking first-time recyclers about their surprise eWaste finds - because sometimes the biggest value shows up in unexpected places. Once, I came across a tiny brushed aluminum reel-to-reel Japanese voice recorder that sold as is for almost $2,000, without having to ever test if it worked. Not all eWaste loses value with time. Chris Blanz, CEO of Dispo.tech, shared how surprised he was by the amount of gold in smaller electronics like old phones. Vintage Nokia phones from the 80s and 90s are actually gaining value thanks to their gold content, while newer laptops depreciate on the shelf as faster CPUs are released. #eWaste #electronicsrecycling #recycle #sustainability #entrepreneurlife #sidehustle #smallbusinessowner #circulareconomy #moneytips #ecopreneur #waste #urbanmining #reseller
