Your Old Phone Might Be Worth More Than You Think
Do you have old smartphones gathering dust in your drawer?
Don't throw them away.
In China, the recycling price of second-hand phones is skyrocketing.
Due to the global surge in memory chip prices, your old "brick" phone
might actually be a hidden gold bar — 金砖 (jīn zhuān).
In this episode, Coach Tian explains how people in China are trading in
a few old devices for a new iPhone, and why international travelers are
bringing their old tech to China to help pay for their plane tickets.
