- ghaff 2y agoThrift stores don't want a ton of old paper. There are a lot of things that someone somewhere would probably like but I'm not going to track them down or get them there. Mostly it's not magazines anywway. It's a bunch of articles I ripped out over the years. The one thing I have in my garage I know someone would want is a big pile of laserdiscs. But, again, a thrift shop (or my library) wouldn't want them and I live pretty far out from a major city. Probably will try Craigslist post-winter though as I'm trying to declutter.
- buildsjets 2y agoLaserdiscs appear and gradually disappear at my local thrift, so someone must be buying them. Now in the vinyl records pile, there are copies of Mantovani, Jim Nabors, and Herb Alpert which have been there for years, but anything classic rock or newer sells the same day.
- ghaff 2y agoIn the spring I'll probably do take it or leave it for the whole collection on Craigslist for the whole pile at a nominal price and, if that doesn't work, just take it up to the local thrift and I'll at least have tried.
- Falkon1313 2y agoI was just thinking yesterday, wanting some Christmas music to get into the spirit while wrapping presents, remembering being a kid, when my mom would put on Jim Nabors' Christmas album. Luckily there are (currently) multiple playlists of it on Youtube. But they might not be there next year.
