[quote=Anonymous]My mom was a little like this and it was rooted in wanting to help other people, but she wanted to know the end person she was helping. It was the same mentality of no one else scoring on her deal. She donated a lot, but things of certain value, she wanted to know the end user to make sure it was properly appreciated. My aunts are like this too and have actually taken back things they'd given away to give to a more appreciative donor. From my experience, it's best to just say you don't have room or don't want it. If you take it and donate it you're setting yourself up for issues later (like if she decides to regift it). I'd say no and if you want to help her unload it, find specific charities that would really appreciate whatever she has. For example some kids' camps might like broken electronics for kids to take apart and learn about how things are put together.[/quote]
