One Reason
I insert myself into e-waste & disposal routes, is the number of things recovered off the books, untagged & kept hidden by the purchasing Mangler, when it wouldn't work as they expected & wouldn't get IT involved to make it work "For reasons we can guess why", so it is quietly shunted aside & "lost".
After 5 years or so a ticket comes in to remove "surplus" equipment - Leading to a cornucopia of "NOS" delights that "never existed" & continue to cease to exist when the ticket is closed.
Due to immigration I'm still pissed that I had to pass on one of 8 BBC Master Series (Still in sealed boxes) that came in.
