When I lost my phone, I thought I would have to shell out hundreds of dollars for a new one, but I checked eBay and the same model of phone as the one I had was on auction for under $10!

All of these items should be easy to find. I often struggle with giving away stuff because people would rather buy something new than take something used for free. I'm trying to get over this mindset in certain areas (shoes, for example, would be tough) but as far as books, CDs, electronics, and the rest of the list? Easy. I can't even begin to imagine who would rather pay for a CD than get it used. Now I just need to find a decent used cellphone... I’d throw “cars” in that list, too!
