Here's the case for why you should still buy a Juicero, the juicer that once cost $600, if you can find it for cheap

- The Juicero is a juicing machine that once cost $600, until it was outted as an overpriced machine that did nothing more than what your hands could do to a pouch.
- It was recently seen at a Goodwill, priced at $40, which begs the question: Is it worth the buy now, if relics like the first Apple computer are considered expensive antiques now?
- If the Juicero can be kept in mint condition (preferably with some juice packs), it's not completely ridiculous to think that this failed product could be worth a lot today, if only to be reminiscent of a tragic story.
Remember Juicero? The utterly-ridiculous Silicon Valley juicing machine that cost $600, and turned pouches of medical-looking gunk into foul-tasting vegetable juice? And do you remember when Bloomberg realized that this overpriced machine was no more effective than actually squeezing out the pouches by hand? Good times.
Anyway, towards the tail-end of 2017, the company imploded like the Death Star. Given Juicero was the only company producing the juice pouches, these highly expensive machines were rendered into expensive paperweights overnight.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
