They still seem to change hands (for free) pretty often on the local
university groups here. Particularly ethernet cards (useful for homebrew
home firewalls I suppose), and parallel cards (handy for robotics
projects?).

Maybe there's a local place such as that you can at least advertise on
rather than dumping them.

Only you know what's worth keeping for yourself, of course :-)
