To the OP: You might also consider TechSource, http://techsourcecanada.ca/ They remind me a lot of how Factory Direct used to be (less the wall of O'Reilly books, that is). Their website is utterly crap, but their Kennedy location has piles of used computers from Chromebooks up to colossal multi-Xeon Dell workstations. The prices seem variable, from quite decent to alarmingly high. I think they might be open to haggling. Machines are mostly Dell, with some compact desktops from Lenovo and ThinkPads too. I was in to score a dual display portable DVD player, which local retrocomputing nerds have discovered that the units can act as tiny PAL/NTSC composite monitors.

The original Freecyle group in Toronto collapsed in a mess of bickering about a decade ago, shortly after the central Freecycle org tried (and failed) to strongarm everyone to a commercial model. Posting multiple items in an e-mail would get you temporarily blocked, with tens to hundreds of people sending you scolding e-mails. Every post would generate many auto-replies in an attempt to get first refusal on all items. It was a mess. cheers, Stewart
