I am in the IT feild in Sacramento Ca.
I put together a "Phony Sony" get together
about 3 months ago. We had about 350-400
people join in on discarding all of our
Sony products. This all started with the PS-4.
It grew into all Sony products. It was about
$262 thousand worth of "Phony". After steamrolling
the item's, we donated all the E-waste to a local
food bank and cash given ended up to about $7500.
All the local media had a field day with us. Everything
was donated, Food,VFW Hall, Steamroller, clean-up and
raffle prizes in the amount of about $10,000 of products
and services. It should be on Google for sure. Most items
donated were Samsung. Will update with links to the local
news clips and many photos. It was streamed live on "Veetle"
Wont miss anything they happen to sell. "Sony Phony Bologna"
It started out because of the PS-4 only. It was meant for a few
hardcore gamers only. It just took on its own life. Everyone wanted to jump on the bandwagon. When It took on that life of its own, the only way to feel right was to raise money for charity. I just got an Email from the foodbank saying they are still getting donations from "Sony" in the from text or letter. We are thinking of doing one at the end of summer, but donate every item to needy families this time. We could not go back on steamrolling the stuff as that is how it was billed. Our team came up with "Sony and Balogna". Free electronics and food. This time we are looking at giving our donations to a Women and childrens shelter. Not one cent was spent from donations. It was all paid for by very generous people from all walks of life.
As a note, If we knew it would have been this big, we would have donated everything brought to the event.
