Old stuff?

What do you do with all your old stuff? (Personal Belongings/Business Assets)

I mean, the world is changing everyday and there are more and more products being updated all the time. I'm sure a lot of you guys have a lot of old/outdated things.

The question is, what do you guys do with them? Leave them in a closet to waste space? Give it away? Sell them? And if so, where and how effectively?

to be honest, I just stick it in a drawer somewhere or in the closet, thinking that someday I just MIGHT need it. I also have a box of stuff to Ebay....but that box is just sitting at the bottom of my closet nonetheless.

Find some charities in your area and give the stuff away.

Many people could benefit from what we consider junk, so why toss it?

How would someone benefit from my collection of used condoms?

If we are talking about old business assets, if you've done your taxes right and used everything you've bought as a deduction, remember that if you sell it you will have to pay income taxes on the profits you make on it. If you donate it though, you can write it off as a charitable contribution.

Donate it, even if its worth something, because if its been sitting around here then I'm sure others could benefit from it much more than I could. Not to mention its a tax write off.
