Why it worked

The video effectively demonstrates a practical solution to a common problem (unused electronics) by showing a tangible financial benefit and then showcasing how that money can be used for desired purchases, making it relatable and aspirational for viewers.

Summary

The creator used ecoATM to sell an old phone for $140, which they then used to purchase a PlayStation 5 controller, a neck fan, basketball cards, a keyboard, and a laptop case for back-to-school expenses.
