It would be excellent if you had the time/resources to start such a site. I hope such a project can boost the development of new devicedrivers for FreeBSD, I always donate unneeded stuff to various computerclubs in my hometown. But if I knew that it could do some good to the FreeBSD project I would gladly send these hardware gadgets to a willing programmer.
