This is a no win situation. Charities cant sell recent stuff for more than a
few bucks. They have NO idea what value older sets have & which ones.
I would bet almost all would keep a POS GPX stereo & junk the tube
type McIntosh ! The stuff I see in our local GW etc is all recent & of
poor quality. I would rather have the crap brands from the 70's than that junk.
Another big problem is there just aint many of us. No market.
If you intend on saving some stuff try this.
Talk to the manager. If they get stuck with it they have to PAY to get rid of it. Point out they MAKE money giving it to you. Hope you have a BIG barn !
Do this with the local dump also. They charge $10 to $35 each around
here. If you take some away they are cutting a fat hog in the ass.
Other than expanding our numbers* not much we can do.
* Treat newcomers to the list with respect. I have seen a few that were not.
They may not know anything but neither did all of us once. Make the first
repair or restore a pleasant thing helped along by some decent, patient
folks. Honey not vinegar.
