Yes! And that's the "secret of the smith" as I said in my mail before.
For these organisations it's mostly cheaper to buy new hardware without
trading in their old stuff.
They will not organize a kind of "garage-sale".
Be sure the rest-value in the books will be low.
What they like to find:
ONE buyer (the quicker, sooner and faster, the better) who is willing to pay
that rest-value minus the costs of removal (they would have in case of not
finding an "easy-buyer").
There are lots of these occasions, from 1 piece to container-loads!
And well, you'll need a network and connections to find these but that's up
to you.
