I think it would be better if we had a trade-in option. You trade in your old motherboard for a xx% off of your new motherboard, then the company could use those boards on refurbished products or sold them in their store as second-hand items. If the board is broken beyond repair, the company could send them to professional companies that deal with e-waste.

The old boards simply would do more in their hands compared to ordinary users.

Framework is planning to offer Marketplace option like ebay but more focused so youd be able to buy and sell older boards and components. Since its also focused so a good chance of finding and seller framework parts there. We shall see when they launch.
