A lot of them DID, but now a lot of thrift shops DONT for some reason.
I DID purchase them sometimes when my own crashed or needed something, and often they would be out of date, but if you bought the right ones you could use at least dial up service if they ran Windows 98 or better.
Anyone know WHY they dont handle them anymore?
I still see the occasional old monitors and accesories like outdated programs and games and mouses, but never the computers anymore.
Thanks.

Most Salvation Army stores and Thrift shops no longer accept TVs or Computers because there is, in most towns, a $25 fee per unit to dispose of them if they do not work, and do not sell.

I assume that they are just snatched up really quickly. After all, those who shop there might not be the most financially well off, and thus I’m sure even ancient computers that are capable of the internet would sell like hot cakes.
I know the local thrift shops still accept computer donations and encourage it, but they sell quickly.
All electronics are like that actually. You rarely see CRT t.v’s or VHS players either, or CD players, cassette players, game boys, etc. They all sell very quickly, but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t provided. Talking to the staff would give you a better idea of how often they get things like that in and how fast they sell. That would be your best option in my opinion.

because most people dont buy them. and the company has to pay to have them disposed. and all those computer parts are full of chemicals and they have to pay for them to be properly discarded which puts the companies profits in the RED. Thats why they dont accept CRT monitors anymore because they dont sell and the gas inside has to be properly disposed of.
