I hate throwing stuff away. had a couple mattress supports (German equivelant to box springs) that were in perfect shape besides a few scratches and some dust from moving them from corner to corner. Put an ad in the paper for 50 bucks with the idea of just giving them to someone if they looked like they needed them. One lady called and begged for us to hold them til she could get there the next afternoon cause her son needed them but had no way to get them. Turned out he only lived a couple miles or so away so I said I'd drop them off. She came by saying how her son didn't have much money. Said if she would take them she could have them. She didn't want to put them in her car (snooty) so I said give me 15 bucks and I'll take them right now. She started looking at them then and started jabbering about a scratch here and there and said that they weren't worth 15 bucks. I said OK, stomped on them a couple times and started pulling them apart. She started commenting on my people skills and I pushed her out the gate and toward the road just to see the new Mercedes SUV she was driving. If I have anything to sell now it goes on ebay.

Remember offering squirrel, rabbit, fish, and even deer to folks as a kid and had some give the "sure, if you clean them".
