I have a few things i dont need, how do i get them gone?

Its always about the right price. Auction on ebay starting with $1 bid. It will sell for what its worth if described properly with needed pictures.

Next best is yard sales to get rid of unwanted stufff. Have the mindset that everything must go not get the most money per item.

Last resort get rid of things fastest by just donating to Goodwill, etc.   or if you know anyone who would enjoy the stuff just give it away and take pleasure in doing something nice for someone. 

I gave a pair of modestly valued computer speakers to my son's school last year.  They couldn't believe how "nice" they were.  So, if you are of a mind to donate the items, I would check with a local school.  Then, lots of kids/prospective audiophiles could benefit-- you know, to restock the herd :)

Forget Goodwill; they are a "for profit" organization with a CEO that makes over a $100,000.00 per annum. The Salvation Army or any other local independent thrift store would make a better choice. As mentioned previously craigslist is an option too unless you’re leery about strangers coming to your house. You could meet them at a public place and conduct the transaction there.

As others have stated, give the gear away to some kid that's into music, and needs a starter system.
