Sometimes "junque" really is junk...;-) (Although the
rusted out, holey, beaten-up stuff pulled out of falling-
down barns, etc. on "American Pickers" and supposedly
regularly sold for high prices does make one wonder...;-)

What I would love to do is follow those guys on "American Pickers" and
photograph some of the rusted out stuff and falling-down barns.

I have 3 excellent non digital cameras and I know there is no demand for
them but the thought of disposing them in the waste bin does not seem
right. Is there anyone who would want them ?

If you have canon cameras, you can trade them in (but that's not how canon
calls it) and get a 20% discount off canon refurbished digital cameras.
Canon will recycle the cameras.

Look up canon loyalty program. The original intention of this program is to
give a user an alternative to repairing his old canon camera. However, some
people would buy broken canon cameras from ebay just to get this discount.

Also, once in a while costco runs an electronics buy back program. However,
they only buy back stuff no more than a few years old -- stuff they can
resell.
