disposing things...

Most of what we have is not worth much selling it but there are people who like it any way so we have given some stuff away when we replace it.

I just recently did buy some new furniture and gave away the old stuff. I didn't even try to sell it as it was just about shot! LOL...but someone else will get some use out of it. Had it been in better condition I probably would have tried to sell it.

If you give it to your brother after offering it to your friend, you will create hard feelings. In this day and age, money is getting harder and harder to come by where I live, so you would know my answer. Take care

I have done both. I need the money so i tend to try to sell more things. NOt everything sells of course so I end up giving some things away. I really havent tried to sell that many items though, just pretty much things I'm pretty sure I will never use again. I like most of my things. We may be getting a new dining room table too, but I dont know if we could get much for ourold table and chairs.

If you badly needed the money, sell it. If you don't, give it to your brother, at least there you can still see it. Old things had many sentimental value associated with it. So, think twice before making a decision.

It depends, do you need the money? If your friend is in agreement then sell it, or if your brother really needs a dining table and is unable to buy one, I would give it to him for nothing. Personally, I am a giver, I would give something away just to give it, if it is something that I no longer have use for. It is very nice of you to have a generous heart

If you don't mistake me, i would say better sell it to your friend even if it is 50% of the original cost, than giving the same to your relations, be it brother or sister.. Its my experience that, tongues speak cunningly at times..and they may wait for instances to quote.. " what else did you, give me.. a old.. out fashioned dining table..that which you considered redundant.. and not a new one.." I don't exactly mean that all the people are like what i said, but what i mean is why to opportune for such an atmosphere? As these kind of situations are quite common in our country especially where the joint family system is in practice. Have a good day friend.

Practically I would say just sell it to your friend. At least you gain back the money maybe not the whole amount but at least you gain back half of it. On the second thought if you think your brother need it the most so I would say just give it to him. He'll be really glad if you did. It's not a lose anyway. Your brother is not a different person.

sell it. wala ng libre ngayon. har har har. i bought a new tv and my brother wh has a video game rental as his business is interested with my old television set. but i did not just gave it to him. i told him to pay 2 thousand pesos to have my tv. he agreed and i brought my child to the mall and bought some magic slate for him. be bought fries, donuts and ice cream. the remains of the money i put it in my son's bank account.

If you already made an agreement with your friend you should honor it. Since it is new and you likely spent good money on it, I would try to recoup some of my losses if I were you and sell it. If however it was older and the memory of the purcashe was long ago, I would probably give it away.

If you can sell it especially since it is only a year old I would do that. I know your brother can probably use it but a dining room table is not really a necessity. If a person is in need of an item then I would go with giving it to them - but you can live without a dining room table and since you have an eager buyer that you already have talked about it I would sell it to them. The next time you have something you are replacing consider giving it to your brother before you ask someone to buy it.
