I have a bunch of hard drives, like 10 36gb 15,000RPM seagates, 8 18GB 10,000 rpm ibm's, a 73GB 15,000rpm cheetah and a bunch of 9GB 10k's.. alll hot swap.

what should i do with them? they're mostly untested, pulled from working systems, and sell from $15-$40 each on ebay. I mean, if I sold them all for $300, I'd be lucky. I really don't feel like goin through the hastle of some long drawn out sale of hard drives to make that money. Besides, alot of the sellers have warranties, etc. I just want to get rid of them.

I'm thinking about his giving them away for recylcing... ideas?

Craigslist. People will drive to you to pick them up. Takes you like 2-3 mins to post a drive.

Untested pulled drives are frequently all bad, or major flaky, sell with caution.
