Keatah Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I used to try and sell it or give it away, but got tired of the litany of questions, so now I just throw the shit out. No time to mess with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icemanxp300 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 If it is something I can fix and is worth my time I will fix it. If it is something I can't fix and/or is not worth my time I sell it on ebay and let someone else deal with it If it is not worth selling I offer it for free or toss it in the garbage can after awhile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discgolfer72 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) nothings trash until its a bare pcb being in the arcade repair biz I have to save everything (never know when ill need some obscure chip to fix someone's game) as soon as i toss , give away something i get someone coming in the shop needing it uggg! lol my rule is try and fix it with minimal cost (usually do) if I cant fix it then it goes into the parts bins sucks I have sooo much arcade ,and modern console stuff so I can almost always scavenge the parts I need to fix things but 8bit and classic computer stuff kills me i just started messing with it and so I'm at that point of buying complete broken consoles for parts , and then ending up fixing the parts machines lol I'm fighting right now i need some 2732 eproms for burning demon attack for the trash 80 , and every one i have scavenged so far wont blank (might need a new eraser ive had this one for a long time ) Edited March 1, 2018 by discgolfer72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osgeld Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 nothings trash until its a bare pcb this is how you end up with a warehouse full of useless shit some custom chips I get, but yea I see people spend significant amount of time salvaging crap that cost a penny brand new, like that 35 year old electrolytic cap with 200,000 hours is really worth the time it took to pull it, and hope it doesnt shit the bed on the next thing you use it on if its not custom its in the garbage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
