What happens to outdated unused inventory?
Hi all!
What happens to boxed CPUs ie. Pentium 2.4 Ghz/400 Mhz FSB/Northwood, which weren't sold in the stores, or which Intel had at one time as inventory? If the stores return it to Intel, what does Intel do with them? What does Intel do with unsold stock? What happens to the thousands/millions of unused processors? I am asking because I am trying to find the exact same processor above, and have not had much success on ebay so far. Thanks in advance! Buck. |

What happens to outdated unused inventory?
I've had to find old logic chips (~20-30 years old) before and
discovered electronics brokers. These dealers buy up the old stock and sell them to desperate people for a dear price. If you think you'll find a bargain - forget it. For example, today I searched for a replacement computer power supply. This supply had a proprietary connector and all the pin voltages were swapped around from the ATX standard. Luckily I got one from Gateway for $26, but I did see another being sold by a broker for $292 (refurb). If you're truly willing to pay desperate prices, then google the chip number printed on the processor. Lance ***** Buck Rogers thought carefully and wrote on 4/24/2006 6:36 PM: Hi all!
