If I were closer to a bigger city (I'm about an hour from DC) I'd probably put my items into consignment there - not necessarily that the percentage is better, but that the pricing is.

I'd donate all of these items if I didn't need the extra cash. Hopefully soon I'll be in a better position and that won't be a concern.
