if you can't find a place that'll buy it, you might as well recycle it @ encorp.ca

Donate it to FreeGeek. They fix it up and give it to less privileged people.

What the fuck makes you think you have the right to fuck with anyone's food? FOR YOUR FUCKING INFORMATION, the restaurant closes 10 mins after I get in, not 10 mins before. If the front of the line staff feel like serving me, then you're shit out of luck and you better make my food and make it right. You're just someone's bitch, don't act like you're the biggest motherfucker in town because you can fuck with someones food.[/QUOTE]

You can try CL and all those classified places. You probably won't have many buyers though, and those that do will probably lowball you to a point where it's just not worth the hassle.
I donated all my old stuff to FreeGeek and save myself the hassle of people coming over and picking through my stuff. At least that way, I know it's being used by those less fortunate than myself, or being disposed of in an environmentally responsible way.

There aren't any places that buy old computers because there is next to no value in them.

3+ yr old computer, its probably a decent machine that will be just fine for word processing and internet surfing...
However its probably not worth much at all these days...
For what you can get for it you might as well donate it to a good cause or give it to someone in your family who can put it to good use...

The link above is the fee you pay when you buy the item at the store (i.e. Future Shop). Encorp charges you nothing when you drop things off.
