And many Freecycle people are as kooky as the folks running it. :( Have you tried Chavcycle? Simply attach a note saying "£10 o.n.o" and leave it at the end of your driveway, chances are that overnight some of the local youth will decide to take it elsewhere (presumably for a pre-sale demo) and forget to ever ask you about the price. I've used this technique before and it does work, but then I do live in Feltham so I suppose I am in a growth area for this sector of the market.

Yep. I think quite a lot of kit will no longer be Jamies-bound.

There's always Freecycle - although most of the kit on there is simply unusably old. Perhaps we should have a "kit up for grabs" page on the Wiki?

I have an assortment of mice - some serial - keyboards, old networking kit and the likes that is now surplus to requirements. I'd be delighted to see it reused rather than binned, but giving it away and transporting it already count as 2 charitable acts in my book. You may all now sing the Fagin song, should you wish.
