>Okay, curiosity time. What happens to obselete ATMs? Anyone here collect
them?


I've seen several, minus the electronics, at a hitech scrap dealer. (Same
place I find a lot of computers)He sells them to opal dealers in Coober Pedy
and Andamooka, plus an increasing number to owners of pistols. (er, handguns
in us-speak, I suppose). Weapon ownership is extremely repressed here these
days, and there are all sorts of draconian requirements about storage of
firearms in general, and you can square that for pistols. (Almost impossible
to license for Joe Average)
Sometimes he has to pay a locksmith to open them, but he gets $500-600 ea
for them.
