That’s actually a good idea. Maybe Fairphone could think about a second hand store! Instead of throwing away the broken parts/phones or recycling them with all the other ones, we would send them back to Fairphone, they would keep the working parts and sell second hand modules cheap (to cover the expenses of the extra work). That would be ideal, but it sounds utopian…
Other solution: open a new thread and let people say if they have extra modules or broken phones they want to throw away and let handy people get them to give them a new life.
Edit: somebody has already suggested it and the unofficial second hand thread could be used for that, but I think nonetheless that people might be unaware that their broken module could be useful.
