Is it worth it to sell stuff you don't need online?

[Zach]

I specifically mean my old computer stuff. Everything I have, if I try to sell it I'm out the shipping, and the things I really want to get rid of weigh a lot (like older cases) or will need desent sized boxes (motherboards).

Should I just donate to a shool or something? Can I make it a tax writeoff?

Why not charge shipping.

 

[Zach]

Yes, I'd like my $15 shipping on top of the $15 value of an old, case. Anyone willing to pay $30 for a $15 case? $25? $20? Maybe a taker for like $18, so would I bother for that amount of money? Plus I'm out of peanuts, and don't have many boxes. Go to a mail box place, and they charge like $5-$12 to box and pack any random item..

Am I missing something on how an indivdual should send stuff, or is it in the end not worth it?

I just sold parts to one of my old Celeron machines on E...Bay this week.
so yeah I says its worth it

you can try selling it online to people that live within your city. if you are in a big city like la, it shouldn't be too hard..

It's worth selling if you think you can get a reasonable price. Otherwise, it's not worth the effort and you should just donate it.

School maybe? Where's a good place that I can donate to for a tax writeoff? Preferrably an overly large tax writeoff.

You may be able to get a good price on mbds, processors, hard drives and video cards. I usually sell my old stuff as soon as I upgrade and it makes upgrading much cheaper.
