I have a lot of old electronics equipment that I thought I wanted to save at the time I got it but is of no particular use to me. I’d love to find new homes for it; some I’d give away for the cost of shipping and some I’d take offers.
I’m thinking about setting up a new area on my web server to post pictures of and information about things I have available, and I’d like a good name for it so I can link it as http://something.neufeld.newton.ks.us/ and http://www.neufeld.newton.ks.us/something/, but I don’t know what that name should be.
I’d love to call it http://free.neufeld.newton.ks.us/, but it won’t all be quite free. I don’t want to call it “store” because I’m hoping to turn a couple of my projects into kits soon and I’d like to reserve that name for information about the kits.
The best I’ve come up with so far is “fleamarket,” and I’m not wild about that.
Suggestions welcome. Free junk for the “winner.” 
“looking-for-a-good-home”?
“adoptable-equipment”?
I’d go with warehouse, depot or clearinghouse
How about “recycle”
The word you are looking for is surplus.
what about “garage” ?
What about “Swap Meet” or “Bits Bin?”
keiths knackers yard?
silicon afterlife?
How about “exchange”, or perhaps “recycling exchange”?
Equipment-Emporium Extraordinaire
Not sure if it is a little derogatory, but what about midden?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midden
In Scotland it is a word that is in constant use, often used (by my better half) to describe my ever expanding and always disorganised stash of electronics!
In the east end of Glasgow I have heard the term “Lucky Midden” used. The term “Lucky Midden” is a play on “Lucky Dip”
Every week, on a set day the local council collects bulk refuse from the street. You know stuff like furniture, broken electrical goods and toys that have been outgrown by their owners. Typically the goods are put out the night before the collection.
Kids and Adults alike regularly scavenge the discarded items. I once found a working Technics CD recorder and amplifier in a “Lucky Midden”
How about “junk box”
How about “stuff”, “things”, or even “treasure”? Easy to remember.
How about “bazaar”? That has a nicely exotic sound.
What about “Salvage” ?
giveaway? freebox? …hmm…
barginbin..? (ooh…”rummagebin!”)
cheers!

I like the ideas of salvage and recycle already suggested; or how about scrapheap (in line with the Discovery show)? Or going with an acronym; OMTAMT (One Man’s Trash, Another Man’s Treasure)?
It’s a brilliant idea whatever you decide to call it. It goes well with the spirit of your blog – just because it’s old or even broken, doesn’t mean it should become landfill. I enjoy seeing how you repair and repurpose electronics.
How about grab bag?
Recycle Bin
nerd stash
or
geek heap
How about “the pile”? That is usually how mu stuff gets referred to by upper management (aka wife).
How about “Keith Box” (you mentioned this on one of your other articles)
side observation:

watch all us lurkers come out of the woodwork….
If you’re not adversely inclined to the French you could try Marche which means market. This word is used all over the world where French imperialists set up camp. Grande Marche means big market in most West African countries, I think of it as a fun version of Flea Market… In fact, you could probably buy most of the “junk” you’re getting rid of in a West African Grande Marche if you looked hard enough (Just keep your wallet out of sight no matter what you do, everything is “good price, you like?”).
Awesome idea!
“Free junk for the “winner.”” Say it like it is and call it junk.neufeld.newton.ks.us
Everyone involved in this hobby know what junk is, and that it’s great!
How about E-junk or Gizmos
How about partyard ?
I’m thinking:
stuff.neufeld.newton.ks.us

I suggest not reinventing the wheel for the stuff you’re not actually expecting offers for:
tgimboej.org is a giveaway project that seems like a lot of fun. Getting a grab-bag of electronics would be a blast!
Richard, I’m familiar with TGIMBOEJ. Most (thought not all) of the equipment I’m talking about is considerably larger than the USPS flat rate priority mail boxes that TGIMBOEJ recommends.
Possible names:
junk
perfectly good junk
treasures
‘neu’ junk (pun intended)
freebies
yours for the asking
neuwares
neuwarez
and so on and so on……
All the best!
Orphans!
Boneyard
How about “(Almost) Free for the Asking?,” abbreviated as AFFTA?
This one is easy, “http://craigslist.neufeld.newton.ks.us/”.
Everybody knows the name, knows you get both free and stuff for sale on it, perfect fit
You tagged it: salvage!
I go with John, Salvage.
Keith’s Electronics Flood
junk-o-rama
How about thebox or partsbin?
If you happen to be a Deadpool fan, how about “http://satchel.neufeld.newton.ks.us”?
