Oof.  I did get rid of most of my 4e D&D books last move, but I sold 
them, surprisingly there was actually a reasonable market for them.

Sold the PS2 and most of the games for it for cheap to a used console 
store, which I still somewhat regret.

All the old PC games I didn't want, no one else did either (including 
the game store) so they ended up in the trash. I believe I listed them 
here too but had no inquirers.

Yes, some rarer books and stuff could be worth the time and at least 
they stay in circulation. Or drop them off for a pitance at a comic book 
or used book store.
