The component grey market is alive and well. If they got 25-50% of the previous sales price then the guy who bought it should be fired. My business that lasted for 6 years and broke 7 figures in a couple of those years paid between 6 and 10 cents on the dollar from Flextronics, Emerson, foxconn and others. On occasion there would be an eol part in the lot that they would buy back at 5x the original price for ongoing repair work years later.
