Stampp corbin makes money off of digital detritus, and he's about to make a lot more. In 1996 Cincinnati Bell told the tech consultant that if it bought 200 new computers from him, he would have to take the old machines. He made $56,000 supplying new PCs, but a hefty $170,000 selling the refurbished ones. Corbin promptly started a sideline selling old computers. Called RetroBox, it turned its first profit in 2003 on $11.6 million in revenue and expects $16 million in sales this year.
