Thats an easy answer!  From 3rd world countries where all the electronic 
scrap is shipped, and put in huge dumps to be scavenged.  I watched a tv 
show a while back showing this and of the many entrepenures that 
scavenge, the stuff, fix it up, and sell it.  I wouldn't be surprised if 
some of the old electronic parts on ebay didn't get shipped back here 
from there! hahaha  The US is going down the tubes, and is already a 
mere shadow of its former self.
