Anybody know of a good way to get rid of old PC parts that doesn't involved EBay?
I have 4 or 5 cases, mobo's, HDD's, ethernet cards, mice, keyboards, memory...

I basically have all the parts from all the computers I've had over the last few years and I want to sell them, even if it's just for a few bucks.

Heh heh. I put my last case out on the curb. Still have 3 I should get rid of....

You might benefit more (and it's less of a PITA) to donate them to a charity.

My wife suggested giving them to Goodwill. I thought she was crazy...

Will Goodwill take pieces/parts, though? Or would I have to put them all together and put an OS on them?

I guess I probably shouldn't put an OS on them, that's technically illegal...

I donated pieces to Purple Heart and they handed me a blank receipt to fill out the value. I don't know about goodwill. I know a few people who have volunteered for charity organizations repairing and assembling old computers. The parts come from somewhere....

Goodwill won't take old computers. At least the one in Belton wouldn't.

One of the reasons I don't want to hassle with ebay is shipping...

Goodwill... they'll give you a blank receipt. Good for tax purposes if you itemize

As for OS, I typically load a copy of College Linux (freeware).

What kind of stuff will they take?

This stuff is fairly old/outdated. The best of the mobo's is a PII-300.

I donated an old PII and they didn't complain. Most of the time it's just a kid working the donations bay.

OK, last question.

Do you think I should spend the time to ASSEMBLE the systems?

Rebecca: Excuse me, I'm Rebecca Demore from the homeless shelter.

Elaine: Oh, hi.

Rebecca: Are you the ones leaveing the muffin pieces behind our shelter?

Elaine: You been enjoying them?

Rebecca: They're just stumps.

Elaine: Well they're perfectly edible.

Rebecca: Oh, so you just assume that the homeless will eat them, they'll eat anything?

Mr. Lippman: No no, we just thought...

Rebecca: I know what you thought. They don't have homes, they don't have jobs, what do they need the top of a muffin for? They're lucky to get the stumps.

Elaine: If the homeless don't like them the homeless don't have to eat them.

Rebecca: The homeless don't like them.

Elaine: Fine.

Rebecca: We've never gotten so many complaints. Every two minutes, "Where is the top of this muffin? Who ate the rest of this?"

Elaine: We were just trying to help.

Rebecca: Why don't you just drop off some chicken skins and lobster shells?!
