Secondary market for used computers is vigorous
Consulting and research firm Gartner estimates that for every two new computers shipped one will be resold in the secondary market. The study finds computer users worldwide unloaded some 152-million PCs in 2004. Gartner Vice President for Client Platforms Joe Smulders says where those used computers end up depends on market forces, environmental rules and the willingness of the user to seek proper methods of disposal. The study also concludes the use of second hand computers doesn't diminish the new PC market.
