content: Quote from: nidlaX on July 25, 2015, 02:58:15 amThe same people that donate high end audio, it seems. That's where all of my decent stuff came from. When you're cleaning out grandpa's old shop after he dies, you just take anything that looks like it's worth something to someone to the thrift shop. Most people can't be arsed to sell the stuff themselves.At least it didn't end up in the landfill.

content: Some interesting stuff there. And a huge plus - it isn't ebay.Has anyone outside the USA had any experience with giving this goodwill group a US reshipper address? They don't seem to have an option in their account setup for alternate addresses.If no one knows, I'll ask their customer service directly. But it's better to not draw attention...

content: Quote from: Derick Freese on July 26, 2015, 08:35:11 pmIt can make a lot of sense. You can deduct the comparable sales value, let's say "high eBay", without taking the risk that you'll end up with "low eBay" minus commission, and as you say without the hassle of selling & shipping.

content: The "prices" are often low, but their shipping + handling costs are large and make it often more expensive than finding the stuff other places like ebay.
