Definitely finding that selling things is almost always too much trouble. I value my time pretty highly (so does my employer), so it gets increasingly hard to justify hours and hours of things like this -

photograph, describe, price, package and ship

- or in-person Craigslisty stuff where I have to email back and forth three times to find an appropriate time for someone to "come look at it and decide whether I want to buy it."

Local library and Goodwill have taken most CDs/DVDs/books/clothes. Nextdoor has a "curb alert" tradition, which is pretty close to ideal - if no one wants it, off it goes. We don't get a lot of landfill guilt because our town does a waste-to-energy thing.

A rich 'burb will have Stuff Glut. Donations to the third world can tend to disadvantage local businesspeople. I'd like to find a genuinely needy day care or preschool once my children outgrow toys and kid books, because a lot of that shit is barely touched nowadays.
