Reply #30: Sell to your local thrift or consignment store.

The money will stay local, there is less energy consumed and you are helping keep the goods available in your community.

This goes for used books and CDs, too. There are a few big sellers that solicit "donations" in the name of charity, but they pocket 98% of the money. It's a scam. Support your local resale shops, instead. I've never heard of a local thrift store asking for "donations". Even for the stuff they do end up giving away, they will pay you something for it. I hate the fake charity scams.
