The Electronics Graveyard: Money From The Outdated Gadgets In Your Life.
My husband had one of the very first iPods. At the time it was amazing, just like a Commodore 64. A mere 4 years later it is an enormous brick we like to pull out when we have guests just to amaze them with our ‘vintage’ sound system. We could pull out a victrola, wind [...]
