Why limit yourself to collectors? People want free stuff for all kinds of reasons. |
|
| |
If you're within reach of a craigslist site, that's another moneyless way of finding local recipients for free stuff. |
|
| |
Collectors should put their collections online if they want to, and some of them may be interesting to look at, but the benefits of centralizing that seem minimal at best. |
|
| |
When you give your stuff to a collector the chance that it will remain on the planet is higher, just because it is part of a collection. Then it gets value because of the rest of the collection, it can become part of our cultural heritage. |
|
| |
When you just give it away the thing is more likely to get used and then discarded anyway, probably in a less responsible manner than you would have done yourself. But indeed, when you just want to get rid of something to be used by someone else, some local craigslist or freecycle network is the way to go. |

//Collecting is a mental disease//
Pah! Tosh! I've been enthusiastically collecting blubber around my waist for years and it's an eminently practical occupation. Without it, the shirts that I bought at the weekend would be much too big for me to wear. |
