I toss them.


That's silly. If you don't want them, sell them on eBay.


Not necessarily. Sell them for $10 or $15. Figure on the time to put it in a
cardboard box, seal it, take it to the post office and that's aside from
time to place an ad on eBay, possibly answer questions posed by prospective
buyers. What do you figure, an hour or too spent on this? Might just as well
go into work for an hour or two of overtime and make many times the amount
of money you'd get from selling them on eBay.

ONLY benefit to selling them is that at that point, they're not winding up
yet in a landfill. Easier by far to just offer them up for free. Lot fewer
questions, they're easier to get rid of and no one is going to try to
negotiate with you. And at that point, they're not ending up in a landfill.
