Ever felt charitable but had no opportunity?

Did you ever had this experience:

You are going through your monthly cleaning/garage re-organizing and end up with a bunch things/tools/materials that you don’t really need, and whatever the project or idea you where planning to use them for is not exciting anymore, but you still feel ownership/attachment to these things. So you can’t quite give them up and just keep putting them back into a corner forever.

However if you knew that someone might use them for some project and would have asked you – you would love to give these away rather than see them in dumpster? The problem is you don’t know many people who would need this and not many do ask. And the whole classified/ebay seems like a chore to deal with.

Why can’t just someone come up and take them of your hands for a buck. And maybe share a proud story on how they’ve used it?
