One Man's Trash...

Insiders,

Every so often I come across perfectly working, abandoned peripherals in the office. Some are old, some have suffered some cosmetic injuries but are still in good working order and many of them aren't boxed.

Would you be interested in them as giveaways?

Can I have one of Mins Razer hoodies?

Doesn't need to be abandoned just ya know offer to hang it up and just not give it back.

In all seriousness recycling is good! Long as it works I don't see this as a problem whatsoever.
I'd be down for used products even if they have some minor damage on the outside but as long as they work, I think it would be a great idea.

I think it'd be great!
Only caveat I can see is how this could be spun into negative PR. Don't want this to be a thing that says "Razer is too cheap to give away new products lol".

How can we prevent something like that? What if the product happens to be broken (or breaks during the shipping process)?

Maybe sell these products for discounted Silver?
Have a raffling system? (Where users can either enter a raffle for a new product, or the used one.)

Yeah, especially if it's something that I don't have ... or something that I would be ok with giving to my son or daughter as their first actual Razer peripheral (they don't get to touch my stuff yet).

I dont see any thing to say no. If we see other brands like Apple that cheack device give new papers and box and sell it for money 😛 But in this case device will be a giveaway so lucky member of forum can win something that can imrove he's/her setup 🙂
Hey! I would just like to say, I love that you are enthusiastic to give back to the community. I love Razer and hope that you do decide to give things away. Of course if you decide not to, it is your choice. I look forward to hearing more on this. Thank you for caring about the community! I love RAZER!

It is often called "The old of the new people".

But if the giveaway is just to our Insider Forums would that really be an issue? I mean free is free in my eyes. And so long as it's good working products I think alot of people would love to get something that is newer and better than what they have. If this was something being posted on the Razer main store site as a giveaway I'd totally agree. I think it would be safe. :wink_:

I think if someone have a issue will not enter giveaway but most people will be glad to win something 😛

I feel a song coming on ... (to the tune of Thrift Shop by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis)

I'm gonna raise my hand
Gonna take whatever Dekades' tossin'
I'm I'm a huntin'
Lookin' for a come up
Razer's freakin' awesome

Walk onto the bus in the land of the big spider
I'm so pumped, just got some free stuff from Insider
RGB keyboard, with a dope wrist rest
BlackWidow Chroma (v2?) yeah, it's best
Gaming mice, different styles, addin' to the war machine
Quartz/pink, 'cept my Razer keys, yeah those are green
Draped in a early style of Razer tee that I won
Prob'ly should have washed it, but I just had to put it on ... but damn, maybe worn by Min?!?!

Baggin' em, grabbin' em, I don't care the sensor is a laser
Long as they're not broken and the THS means they're from Razer
Bummy and grungy, damn Dekades, could have used a wipe, no
I'm not lookin' in the horse's mouth, nah, I ain't one to gripe
I'ma take your Master's style, I'ma take your Master's style
No, really, ask your CEO: can I have his hand-me-downs?
Razer Rising Hoodie that someone discarded
Razer Rogue Backpack smells like someone just f*rted
Don't want a broken keyboard, don't want a broken keypad
'Kay maybe just for my collection, you give me that
Hello, hello, my triple-headed logo
No gaming brand's got you beat, ah hell no
I could make an old BlackWidow get some re-use
Switch-heads be like, "Man, he got the Cherry Blues"

I'm gonna raise my hand
Gonna take whatever Dekades' tossin'
I'm I'm a huntin'
Lookin' for a come up
Razer's freakin' awesome

**That's all I got tonight - just had to get it out**

In case some of the references have people like, "huh?" ...
"the land of the big spider" ~ I currently live in Australia, home of the huntsman - look it up
"the sensor is a laser" ~ obviously referring to the laser sensor in some mice, like my go-to the Naga Epic Chroma
"Man, he got the Cherry Blues" ~ the BlackWidow keyboard from 2010 used Cherry MX Blues ... he said "some are old", but not HOW old. 😉

That's actually good in case people like collecting stuff and the product is in a decent shape when its sent as giveaway.

Please, send me some. I have a $10 mouse and keyboard combo :(
I just won a giveaway, and I'm just 3000 zsilver away from getting myself a brand new mouse and keyboard.
If I cannot win a giveaway, can I maybe, ya know, perhaps, pretty please, please get 3000 zsilver...

That would make it possible for me to finally upgrade and just get a bit less bad at games 🙂

Yes.
But how or what are the terms for the giveaway and what are the items exactly? I feel like you mean maybe Lenovo or some other branded item from a company that's in use and you would like to giveaway to more unfortunate or other persons. Not really Razer equipment per say.
So, when is the giveaway? ^^

Piece it together one by one.

Example - Here is mine:
Razer BlackWidow X Chroma
Razer Mamba Elite
Razer Goliathus Extended Chroma
Razer Nari
Razer Tactical Backpack

My wife has:
Razer BlackWidow Mercury White
Razer Mamba Elite Mercury White
Razer Kraken Mercury White with Black and Pink Cat Ears

If you notice, they're mostly mice, mousemats, and accessories. Only 1x headset plus the in-ears, 1x keypad, the phone, and the Leviathan mini don't fit those categories and WEREN'T gifts that were paid in full. The Leviathan was 50% off form CES appreciation sale; the BWCS and Tartarus v2 were gifts from my family; the Deus Ex gear and fidget spinner were prizes.

If I had paid for everything ... I would only have 1/3 of the non-mouse related items. I bought all the mice except the Taipan, which was also free from the previous Insider Rewards. I do a lot of stuff with multiple computers at work sometimes (like today), so having multiple DIFFERENT reliable mice is a massive plus. Work expense, so tax write-off. 😉 I'm a soundguy, too, so all of the Audio products get to be written off for me, too.
