I have found the CDC motherlode.
The call centre where I work has over 100 6"x9" graphic tablets (used for mouse purposes for the mouse inept - long story) they are getting rid of.
They've pretty much said I can have them all if I can find them good homes, as their initial plan was to just bin the lot. I don't fancy eBaying them as they are a bit old and some could do with a clean / light repair.
/unrelated, but meh :P

gtcocalcomp.com/cadpro.htm - pen only, no mice etc.
they've had a bit of stick mind, although the 5 I've brought home to test have all been fine.
they cost the company £125 a piece brand new in 2003.
I have to come up with a way of making this look all VERY above board though. A little website advertising a giveaway perhaps :)
And the software for them is on the site above, so it doesn't matter they're unboxed and without the install CD's.
They're paying me for a normal work shift just to test them, so I'll know after that how many there'll be.
Postage costs + a tiny donation (£2-3) to a charity of my workplace's choice sounds fair I think.

Or possibly just a tablet?
/cheek
EDIT: Actually - I would pay if you really wanna offload one up Manchester way? - Think of it as a charitable act if you like, as I have yet to own such a wonderful piece of apparatus of any quality...

I have to donate so many to a local college/school first, but there's potentially shitloads of them (there was a remark about a cupboard full as well in the meeting)

works fine, but I'm guessing I'd notice a difference if I ever got my hands on a better quality one.

i'd give a good tenner to be able to draw a massive magenta penis on anything! i'm lacking a tablet, so more purchasing info would be great!

just had to test they worked on XP tonight (2000 at work). and they do.
no mac os x though, so I can't use one :(
could do with testing pressure sensitivity, as they seem to be more CAD oriented, but they're pretty accurate.

I'm guessing there's a generic driver somewhere in the repositories, any ideas on this?

it uses 'wintab', that may work under WINE, but i dunno.
the manufacturer only supports windoze.
