I mean it’s bad juju to throw books in the trash right? What’s the proper way to get rid of them? (with the least amount of effort)

    Although i think it’s great that secondhand places are concerned about the condition of items, i feel like it’s gotten a bit ridiculous.

    I’ve gotten brand new things straight from the manufacturer that were in poorer conditon than some of the things they’ve turned down. And I’m not really comfortable using craigslist or facebook marketplace or the like so i end up feelling bad about tossing perfectly fine stuff.

      I think a lot of the secondhand places have problems in both directions. On one hand, it’s as you say. On the other hand, I’ve seen places that charge more than new prices for some things. One secondhand store I visited was in the same parking lot as a walmart. I looked at the t-shirts they had for sale (not fancy ones or anything) and they cost more than the brand new ones at the walmart.
