I once had a client who sold photocopiers. Who traded working copiers then smashed them up to render them unserviceable.

Two reasons:

Second hand working units reduce the market for new copiers.

Getting rid of older models reduces the cost of maintaining spare parts to service them.

Furthermore old obsolete cameras are hardly worth the effort to try and resell.

They might as well just discount the camera and let you keep the old one - but then you might sell it to someone who will not then buy a new one.
