There is a huge market (In the Billions of dollars) for used technology hardware - I've seen some warehouses that had over $500million dollars (at list price) of used Networking and Server equipment. I can't believe it would be particularly difficult for places like Cuba, North Korea, etc... to purchase a bunch of containers of Cisco Routers or HP servers and have them routed through cut-out countries before final shipping to them.

- ikawe 12y agoIt's making it more expensive for the embargoed to get goods.

- ghshephard 12y agoThese guys (who I've worked with back when they were NHR) have massive warehouses of used equipment that you purchase for 70-80% off list. They sell about $250mm worth of equipment each year. https://www.curvature.com https://www.curvature.com Here is their distribution center: https://www.curvature.com/DistributionCenter https://www.curvature.com/DistributionCenter Carrying inventory valued at $200mm.
