X10 revived - looking for modules, switches, etc - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

 Anyone have a stash of cheap excess modules, switches,
etc for X10/BSR/etc.
I know people mentioned sometime ago that they have bought boxes full of
stuff for a few bucks but I don't have those same resources here and am
setting up an "easier way of life" for my 64 yr old mother in law that has
trouble getting around and forgets to turn lights off, falls asleep with the
TV on, etc. I have the 2 way module to the PC and a remote that she can use
but wall switches, appliance and lamp modules, etc are still needed. Email
me direct if you have excess and want to make space. We can either work a
cash deal or trade as I have lots of PS/2 equipment around and some older
IBM PC equipment I can trade with. Thanks in advance. 
I don't have any that is partable (I don't have much stuff right now at 
all, and the few things I do have are tied up in heavy use).

But, I have found X10.com has cheap prices on packages, in many cases for 
just a few bucks, you can get a full setup, and they run specials on a 
regular basis that practically give stuff away. They have a newsletter 
for the specials, but they tend to send out emails TOO often, so use an 
email account you don't care about being spammed if you sign up (and I am 
fairly sure they passed my addy on to others... fortunatly, I NEVER sign 
up for those kinds of things except under certain accounts that are 
already heavly spammed)
