[Starlink] starlink disk re-use?

What does one do with a dish they are done with? I am more or less done
with the testing I had for my personal dish, and I have good connectivity
so I don't really need to keep paying for the service. Is there a secondary
market for these yet? I see them for exorbitant prices on ebay, but that
seems a bit sketchy to me.

You can transfer service to someone else, but they’d need to be in a cell
with capacity/availability. I believe you contact support to do so.

A Reddit thread started by wk057 has several replies saying that the
dishes, at least as of two months ago, cannot be reactivated if service is
turned off. It looks like wk057 was/is looking for a dish and service; so
it may be worthwhile contacting him. (If you Google him, you'll find that
he is pretty well known in several tech circles.)

He’s the guy behind this one:

If he’s made up some good will he may be able to get a dish re-activated with Starlink :-)

Best,

Mike

Capitalism at its finest. Sell yours, buy some bitcoin?

My dish is on hold til late this year, and I'm not sure if service is
available in my locations is also being the holdup. If service was
actually available (half moon bay, santa cruz... or nicaragua!) I'd
rather like to have one to hack cake onto. (but still prefer they
asked us to and supplied a devkit).

I have someone interested and it was finally nice enough to get it off my
roof. Just need to get it packaged and for the foot and a half of snow to
stop coming down so I can get it shipped. 50F Tuesday, 19F and 12"+ of
snow (and still coming down). Ahh, the midwest.
