Donate: Goodwill and the Salvation Army are glad to accept toys in good condition and games with all their pieces.

Sell: Consignment shops that specialize in children's merchandise will often take toys in good condition. While eBay has a busy toy marketplace, prices for noncollectibles tend to be on the low side. Consider the time, effort, and cost involved.

Tip: Before donating toys, check the Consumer Product Safety Commission's website (www.cpsc.gov) to make sure you don't have any unsafe or recalled items.
