Funny, I was just making up a list of my "spare" hardware, for other
reasons.

There are some problems: Packing and shipping of anything much bigger
than a board or two is a pain. Arranging payment can be a hassle. To be
honest, in the past I've sent out gear and just told the recipient to
send a few dollars to some worthy cause.

Then I'll see a post from someone who is obviously having problems
paying for a 5200 or the like, or I'll see what the costs and
availability are outside the US. It's depressing.

Plus, I think most of have learned over the years that if you have 100
pieces of "junk" hanging around, and get rid of just 1 piece for some
reason, then next week you will need...

Most of what I have isn't worth my time to pack and ship it, except to
somebody who needs it of course :-)
