    I does look a little grim. The trend has been from larger devices (towers) to smaller (laptops) to even smaller throw away devices like tablets & I- phones.



    Been watching CL for the last couple of mos. The market for refurbished towers & laptops isn't good. There's not much call for them anymore. Every week or two there will be a listing from someone that's given up on repair and is selling out.

    If you're doing e-waste it's probably better to downsize. The micro devices that will be coming in won't take up as much space.

    To put it another way: E-waste is bought & sold by the pound. Weigh up what you get from a tower and compare that to what you get from a tablet. Hummm ........
