Steve, I would put together an inventory and just list it as one lot - buye=
r takes all - at a reasonable price. If you're just willing to dump it all =
at a recycleranyway, then you should put a price on it a little more than y=
ou'd get at the recycler. That way, the parts stay in circulation, you clea=
n up some space and get somebucks back on your investment. Put it on craigs=
list first, for free...
