I am the electronics fairy

Over the past few weeks I've given away two cell phones, a tv, a stereo, my tivo box and an unused pair of headphones that double as earmuffs. Usually I ebay my electronics but some of this stuff was questionably functional - the tv had 5+ neon spots on the screen and a DVD player nearly as loud as a blender, the Treo froze constantly and frustrated me to the point of getting a Blackberry, the stereo was over 10 years old with a broken 3-disc changer (but working dual tape deck!), the tivo frequently recorded the wrong channel, and I don't really need earmuffs in this heat. The recipients were all thrilled, however - the tv went to the delivery people that brought the new one, the stereo to a college student from Craigslist looking to hook up an external source, the tivo box to a friend who is using an alternate setup which will most likely fix the channel issue, the Treo and cellphone to a Verizon-run recycling and charity program, and the headphone/earmuffs to a friend who was moving to Boston. I guess one woman's junk really is another person's treasure!
