Something else I've recently discovered is freecycling. Essentially it's giving unwanted stuff away to people that can find a use for it. The advantages of this are that varied; it helps people out who may not have the immediate funds to resolve a problem, it reduces (or at least slows down) the amount going to landfill, I don't have to get up at stupid o'clock to go to a car boot sale where I have to beat people off as soon as I open my car boot, and finally, it provides a quicker response than ebay, for example , with a greater chance of items being taken up.
We've successfully passed on a rabbit run and a sleeping bag, for example.
If you're interested in getting involved go to http://www.freecycle.org/ and go nuts!
