But these days, not so much. I&#8217;ve quite a few things around the house that I&#8217;d love to get rid of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A Series 2 TiVo with a large hard drive in it &#8211; I put this on Craigslist at a steal price but all I got were people asking if I had a (transferable) lifetime subscription to go with it. I don&#8217;t. No one wanted it.<\/li>\n<li>A Sony 5-disc CD unit, looks nice on your hi-fi stack, sounds great. Of course it&#8217;s old, won&#8217;t play new-fangled SACD or MP3 CDs but it&#8217;s still a decent item<\/li>\n<li>Dell Axim X51v which I used to use as my aviation GPS. I tried selling this on the forums that support the aviation software but only two people were interested and they wanted to buy it, and my software, for about a quarter of the &#8216;as new&#8217; cost. <\/li>\n<li>A Sony MiniDisc unit. So MiniDisc never caught on in the consumer market but it was a great platform for music. When I had my MiniDisc player stolen out of my Jeep (along with all my MDs) I gave up on the format. I doubt anyone wants this, either.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And I&#8217;m sure there are other things too. I suppose I could take them to some e-waste site for free and at least be rid of them, but it saddens me that no one wants any of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Used to be a time when getting rid of used electronics was a breeze, there was always someone wanting to buy what I was replacing.
