- RegnisGnaw 3y agoHow? The $100 power supply? The $150 dock?
- olliej 3y agoMy original comment was thinking of the things that have high resale value - e.g. the actual computers, phones, etc but from other comments it sounds like they've got sufficient methods in place to make such devices worthless (I guess they could treat them like gift cards are nowadays where until the sale is registered the initial activation fails but if were in charge of such a system I'd be incredibly worried about accidentally screwing up for paying customers)
- RegnisGnaw 3y agoThe $100 charger and $150 docks are way easier to sell. At the local flea market, you can see people selling stolen stuff from the local pharmacy. There are obvious 4 or 8 packs of razor blades that are stolen (with the sticker that says "For sale at Shoppers Drug Mart only" on them).
