Please find a charity you want to support and donate the laptop and other items in your closet. You'll get a tax write off which will give you the marginal return. You'll get two closets back. You'll support a cause you like. If it's a small charity, you could make a major impact. Do it before things depreciate more.

The non-profit will be very thankful and you won't have to keep wondering what to do with those closets.

But whats the point of having 2 closets if I cant fill it with all my crap!?

Seriously, this is totally a real problem and perhaps if they had an option to donate proceeds to charity people would tick that checkbox..

You don't need to box up anything or tick any boxes.

Call your local charity. They will come and pick up the stuff from your house. Of course, it's nice if you do box up the items but seriously, with many charities, you do not need to do anything more than make a phone call. They will schedule a time to come to your house with a truck and people to load it up.

Please help a non-profit cause you care about.
