If, on the other hand it ends up with a recycler that has the knowledge, tools and circuit information it may be re-flashed, which clears everything, and then sold as a refurbished item. Since we haven't heard of anyone repairing edges, except for entourage themselves, this latter possibility is very remote.
I think flashing in this case wouldn't delete any user data though, they should be in different places right?
