I just bought an "All-in-one" printer/copier/fax/scanner. (I had way too much crap on my desk).  So I was just going to donate the four seperate units and write them off on taxes....then I thought about Ebay.  Is it moreof a headache then it's worth to try and sell this stuff?  All in good shape but they are at least two years old so is it worth selling something for less than the shipping?

Any tips?

Its not going to be worth your time unless its an expensive piece.  Older equipment is not going to bring much expecially if you dont have the original box and supporting contents.

Donate it and be done with it.

That's what I was thinking......I can probably come out ahead by donating it and writing off the full value less depriciation (which is probably a heck of alot more than it could fetch on Ebay).

Ok, just needed to hear someone else say it besides the voices in my head..hehehe

Well, just be sure that if you donate the gear, that you do so anonymously. Otherwise, guess where they'll be coming for technical support? eBay could be a workable solution, but you'll have to deal with packing and shipping the gear. I've only sold small stuff on eBay that can go in USPS Priority for ~$5 or so shipping, with minimal packaging required.

One more thing if you donate or sell the machines, make sure the memories are swept clean.  I bet a lot of personal info is on the hard drives.

Donate and take the tax deduction (if you itemize).
