[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get it, it's comforting to know an item found a good home. But if you can let-go of this thinking, this need to know, the process is so much easier. Donate. Have some trust in the universe, that the item will be found by someone who needs it. Someone who wants it. Donate freely without knowing. Let go of the mindset that you should be getting what-it's-worth. Not every decision needs to be maximized. It's charity. It's a charitable act.

DP I want to have this mindset but it is very hard to overcome the thoughts about how much money I might potentially be giving away.

I really don't understand people who greedily cling to whatever value is left in an item that was long since paid for and used well for decades. If you're not willing to donate such an item to charity to help a young family starting out - like your folks were once - and you'd rather lose time from work and family time to sort painstakingly through and find a way to squeeze a few more dollars from the value of an old dining table etc. - well I guess you're very frugal.
