Not sure if this should be in a separate thread, but it seems related: I was thinking of placing an ad on CL in the barter section. Basically, I would offer exchanging steel/shred scrap for computers. My volumes are low and I only collect computers and computer periphery so most of the steel/shred I get is from desktop chassis and the like. So I can't expect much in exchange. But then again, I don't have space or time to process a lot, so even getting half a dozen computers at once would be great. Plus it's not worth it for me to take the steel to a scrap yard myself so getting my backyard cleaned is another benefit.



Anyway, has anyone tried advertising such an arrangement? Did it work? How did you figure out a good "exchange rate"?
