[dorkbotsea-blabber] DorkSwap proposal

A few people have posted for-sale or for-free ads to the dorkbot list  
lately. How do people feel about having some sort of swap-your-junk  
table at a future dorkbot? Or, if it goes well, as a regular feature  
of dorkbot-seattle? I often have random dorkular things I'm not going  
to be using again, but which are either too small or too odd to get  
rid of in other ways. Putting the handful of obsolete-but-unused PICs  
in my junk drawer on eBay would just be silly.

I'd suggest ground rules like:
    - If someone else doesn't want it, YOU MUST TAKE IT BACK. I don't  
think 911MAC or the Seattle Dorkbot Steering Overlords want to be  
stuck with hauling everybody's unwanted stuff to the dump each month.
    - All stuff free-to-good-home; selling stuff would get too  
complicated
    - Maybe some limit on how much you can bring (a box or two), just  
to keep things sane

What do y'all think? Any input from the Secret Masters of Dorkbotsea?
