[SM-Discuss] Bid on a dot-matrix printer, donate to SMGL

All:

I have several (close to ten, I think) Okidata Microline320 printers,  
and as far as I know, they all work, including a used ribbon.  They  
use standard 8.5" x 11" continuous feed paper.  As far as I know, they  
all work and the only problems that would be present would be the  
yellowing of the plastic (i.e. no broken parts or missing pieces).   
The only real use for them that I could think of would be for printing  
off man pages and scripts and junk.

What I would like to do first is auction them off to the highest  
bidders.  The proceeds will then be donated to SMGL.  I'm a broke  
college student, which means I don't have any money, so I'd also ask  
buyers to pay for the shipping in addition to whatever they're  
donating to SMGL.  About the only expense I have to spare on this  
would be some weekend time and some gas to drive to The UPS Store (or  
wherever I need to go to ship a printer to a buyer).

Perhaps these printers aren't really worth anything and I'll end up  
giving them away for free.  But here's a great opportunity to donate  
to a worthy project, get a decent documentation printer in return, and  
prevent perfectly good tools from being thrown away.
