You can bet the other side of the coin is that if they "donate" them to the homeless, "poor", etc., in good condition, they will just get sold on the street for drug money.....it happens all the time with donations for the "needy", from Craigslist and elsewhere.....I'VE SEEN IT HAPPENINNG IN THIS AREA FOR A LONG TIME. Same thing at the Salvation Army and Goodwill sites; the city-dwellers come in droves to buy suburbanites' donations, so they can sell them on Ebay or on the street.

Ooookay. Um, I know some people that buy the stuff, sell it on Ebay, and then use the money to pay bills and build savings, you know instead of waiting around for Uncle Sam to take care of them. No shame in that.
Welcome to that “shady” world of capitalism.
Geesh!
