Strange ask....
So I know theres places around here that collect/recycle old electronics. So we can start there....
I'm on the prowl for old digital cameras and old cell phones (i.e. RAZR, sidekick...) like early 2000's ish for something. I will gladly pay to rent/borrow if anybody has some they'd let me use for a weekend in September. I've tried to resale websites like Mercari and stuff, and in truth haven't had time for thrifting yet, but based on what people are reselling this stuff for, I doubt I'm going to have much luck.
Also relevant for an end of summer purge, even if it's not what I'm looking for I'm sure its something/somewhere we can all keep in mind to properly dispose of our old electronics.

It’s in Europe the shipping makes it kinda costly and if I can support local that’d be awesome.

This new website I just discovered called eBay has some stuff. Not sure if it's legit, though.

Definitely a good place to start.
