So being a collector of anything is a sad thing for grown men to do? Your signature shows that you're collecting CPUs, sooooooo...




Why are they dumping them instead of just selling them for a huge discount? "Writing them off" can't possibly be cheaper than selling at a loss?

This is disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. Humanity at its worst.

You'd think once they got to 100 mill in storage they'd slow down production rather than dump 30 mill

Imagine how nice it would be to simply donate these to children or anyone that would appreciate them.

There are millions of Birthday and Xmas gifts to take advantage of here for the less fortunate!

This tells me you have no clue about what its like being a collector. A grown man owning this item below, would laugh at the ignorance of that comment.

I agree. Problem is they are pretty stupid really. Kids would likely chew on them too, and I don't think they would be safe for that. Could be wrong mind.

But yeah, you would think they could donate them or something. But nope, that would be too nice wouldn't it.

Better off putting them in the ground, yes. Where they will destroy wildlife and the environment. Which is the exact reason why I do not buy tat like this. Mostly because the life of it is finite (until you get sick of looking at it) and when done they are quite bulky to store, so the natural reaction is to chuck them in the bin.

And if I did not have any ambitions at present to buy cack like this I certainly wouldn't now.

And kids these days say WE spoiled their earth. Oh irony.

Overpriced, overproduced, and overhyped soulless trash.

Unfortunately throwing things away is usually the cheaper option. It costs time and money to store, ship, and then sell things (they probably won't all sell either).

Unless that option somehow has a bad effect on our planet, then that automatically becomes to most expensive option in my opinion.
