What to do with old Palm IIIs?

#1 Post by jruschme » Thu Jan 04, 2007 2:44 pm

A few days ago, I swapped my old Palm IIIxe with a coworker for an older Ipaq.

No sooner than I do this that another coworker drops an original Palm III on my desk. This in addition to the T|T (my main PDA), IIIx, IIIe SE, and another plain III that I already have.

I'm thinking that it's time to either put them all to good use or find homes for them. So, I was wondering... does anyone have any suggestions for good uses for older serial Palms? Anybody know, perhaps, of a charity that puts old but working PDAs to good use? Is it even worth trying to sell one on ebay?

Thanks...

If you start it at $.01, I think it might sell for that or go up to $5 or $10, depending on the buyers mood. These things were great when they were new, but now people would scoff if they saw one in use.

I have (had) a Handspring Visor 8MB which I gave to my Aunt for Christmas since she needed an address book/calendar. I felt better doing that as opposed to getting pennies on eBay.

I've never had the pleasure of toying with a palm PDA, let alone a PIII. I might enjoy checking one out.

Who wants what for one or more? I don't have much extra cash to play with, but I'm interested!

Dorronto, just noticed you're just up the road from me.

Howdy neighbor!

I might have a IIIxe you can have for cheap. I'll just have to clean out my desk drawer to find it. If you're interested, send me a PM.

Any Ron, how's that c500 working out for you?
