Interesting article! Some may want to get that 5 year old device now.

I know that second hand cars from Japan are exported to, for example, New Zealand and maybe some Asian countries. I wonder if the same will happen to the electronics. Maybe the stores won't be allowed to sell old electronics in Japan and an export market will flourish.

To the UK too  I am one of the many happy owners of a Eunos Roadster ( equiv to a Mk1 Mazda MX5 / Miata depending where you are in the world)Then again I also have a second hand SL5500 Both have been tweaked to run slightly differently to the original spec

The former would lower prices for a little while, the latter would be a crying shame in a country with so little room for waste disposal. |
