Many people do like to buy old appliances to save money and since they can get products at half the price so I feel it's a good business.

Selling old electrical appliances may not be profitable here. People prefer to buy new ones as the supplier provides warranty. If you buy second hand appliances, you do not know how durable they are.

This actually a good business though, instead of throwing these old electric appliances away, you can make a little extra cash selling them. I know of some persons who buy them then repair and resell them again.

I've actually seen a lot of people that are selling their old electronic equipment on eBay and I believe that most of them are getting those that are interested in buying them.

That's right I totally agree with you. The business is also widely run here, which means a very profitable business. Besides that, it will make it easier for us to get good electronic equipment at affordable prices.

Many don't prefer to buy new products as they are quite pricey so they stick with used ones

That's right, i have come across some persons who believe second hand electronics are actually more stronger than brand new ones. I do not know how but this what they believe, hence they tend to go for only 2nd hand ones.

It is still feasible to sell old stuff to some people in my country. I sometimes love hunting old electric appliances. Lately, I do not have enough time going to these places.

I also prefer to buy used products, they are more affordable. The refrigerator I bought since 2016 is still functioning well until now, even though I bought it in used condition.
Not all used goods are bad, it all depends on the care and use of the owner.

There is a difference between old items and fairly used items. I would only buy electronics that are not more than 3 years from the date of manufacture. Any product later than that period is a recipe for disaster.

Buying old fashioned electronics is not really a good idea because it will become obsolete soon.

In our place the business is called Selling Second hand items but people here prefer to buy Surplus appliances like TV.
This is something that I have done a lot of times and you are surely going to see people who will really want to buy your old electrical appliances so it is very good instead of throwing them away

Yes, I agree as long as the appliance for sale is fully functional, and if it is something very sophisticated such as a smartphone, it must not be too dated. It is known that they go out of order after a short time due to continuous system updates.

There are times when you will sell electrical appliances that are outdated but those people will remove the good things and put it in the new ones that are still very good. It happens very well here

In old electrican appliances you can find gold, silver or copper. Gold is most worth with silver. Extract process is not easy and you must have knowledge from chemisty to get it out without losing it.

If you want old and very cheap electrical appliances you can find it easy on open market. Old computers, old monitors, cameras, DVD players. You can easily set new computer from parts for cheap money but it want last long.
