I assuming you won't have a use for a 486DX processor, but where is realistically the minimum?  I just want to avoid an item with no recycle value being donated directly, so giving some level of guidance will help people and make everything operate more efficiently.

Perhaps you could check through it during the event a few times and anything that doesn't meet your needs can be moved to the general area for people to buy?  I need contact details for who this would be so I can co-ordinate it.

I can try to box things up as we go, but I don't have the ability to ship items.  I have to leave Tuesday morning to make my ferry, so I'm really in the hands of others for getting everything cleared up at the end.  I'd appreciate someone I can easily contact to sort these details out.
