What's better than low cost eBay auctions for business equipment?

How about office and business equipment at no cost at all?

Inspired by a similar service in the state of California, we will be launching a free service here on www.BootstrapMe.com and expanding it to its own location in cyberspace depending upon the response.

Don't throw away those old office chairs, desks, office partitions or computer monitors. If you've been unable to sell them at auction or in the local classifieds, why not donate them to a business that can make good use of them?

You'll be helping to curb the waste stream going into your local landfill, recycling your old business stuff for productive use and aiding a business in need all at the same time.

Just e-mail me at idea_man68@hotmail.com with information on the equipment you have available including its condition, the state or country in which you are located and a contact person with phone and e-mail where they can be reached. (A photo of the material you have available would also be helpful.)

Oh, and businesses in need of stuff can certainly contact me too with your needs. We love to help bootstrap entrepreneurs here at www.BootstrapMe.com, of course.

We'll post the stuff to facilitate the exchange. It's as simple as that. Look for the posts under a new category labeled "equipment exchange".

I'm hoping businesses out there will help to make this program a success, and
I'm also hoping readers will take the opportunity to do a little viral marketing by taking this post with you and pasting it around in chat rooms and on other websites to spread the word.

Thanks for any help you can offer.
