[ale] Used equipment: local swap meet or flea markets? (and list)

[linux at roguepc.com (David Barlitt)]

The best thing I can think of is going to a local "HAMfest" these are 
amateur radio flea markets. And no you don't have to be a HAM to attend 
and yes computer item are just as popular at hamfest as radios. You can 
goto http://www.arrl.org/hamfests.html then select your state of 
choice... Some Hamfest's are still free admission like the one up in 
Ellijay others require $5 or so for admission. Once in; most have what 
is known as a tailgate area which you can sell off your tailgate or 
setup a folding table. Also there is some good tips on getting rid of 
stuff like yours at: http://wiki.ehow.com/Safely-Get-Rid-of-an-Old-Computer
