  Most of the items you list would cost as much to ship as they're likely to
fetch on eBay.  So I'd recommend a local solution -- either a garage sale,
or donate them to a local charity group.

  In some metropolitan regions, there may be an agency that channels usable
donations to worthy / needy schools and organizations.  (Around here, the
Computer Recycling Center does that, providing also skills training in
refurbishing of used systems, and covering operating costs by selling
donated bits that can't currently be used.)
