Default Disposing of old uniform items

Not sure where this should be posted...

Curious what all of you do with old uniform items. I have a bunch old hats, blazers, epaulets, ties, shirts, etc... some still in good or new condition.

I'm not sure if you're really allowed to just go out and sell these things or not, but some of the items (especially the blazers) are worth a good bit of money I'd assume. Ebay prohibits the sale of airline uniforms.

I'd love to recoup some of my money on these items, but most importantly I just want them gone. If selling them isn't an option, any other creative ideas?

Did you try to sell them to your fellow pilots? Who can't use a new shirt?
If that doesn't work, Halloween is coming up soon! (extra points if you wear the hat)

Well most airline pilots wouldn't fit in "Kid's Size Small" so I think you're out of luck.

Donate them to the homeless. People are used to seeing pilots in the soup lines.
