I'm in agreement here & have never understood why folks inflate monitary value with perceived value. When I decide I'm done with something I usually just want it gone. If it has value/use, I do a couple of things:

I usually see if there's a need for it with family, friends, church or school. If so, then it's theirs. Occasionally I have to call it an 'extended loan' -lol

If I'm sentimental or it's a specialty item, I price it so it'll sell to a person who would be specifically looking for said item & knows I'm offering it at fair price/deal. Sometimes if I like them, I knock off a few bucks when they show up to buy it.

Obviously, there are some things that don't work under this general policy.
