None of this obviates my thesis. A profit limit of $999,999 in your country reflects a buffer for ops. That’s has no material relevance here. Nor does it support the other Cloudflare user who claimed the charity activity of selling old machines is not viable. To claim that it’s not possible to sell old machines (even at a loss) and yet sustain, this makes it hard to believe you really know how non-profits work -- assuming that is your stance. Otherwise, what’s your point?

Indeed it is well known that non-profits have countless angles for abuse. People like Peter Thiel and other right-wing pricks notoriously abuse the non-profit charity structure. That’s mostly irrelevant but to the extent that it’s relevant it actually supports my thesis nonetheless. An abuser who funds a yacht from charity work obviously has enough slack money to sell some old machines, or even pay someone to take them.
