Swap.

In an effort to declutter, bringing stuff into the apartment isn't the best strategy. But bringing it in to take it back out is acceptable. Case in point: a couple weeks ago, someone moved out and I grabbed a box of vinyl records, which I hauled for ten blocks to be offered either $10 cash or $20 store credit. I took the cash.

I looked through them beforehand, and a couple tempted me, but I only kept Abbey Road as an object to enjoy. The rest that didn't get accepted by the used bookstore were hauled another couple blocks to a local library, where they'll be processed for the next used book sale or disposed of safely by professionals.

For hourly rates, it's not very good; for something that only cost me the effort to haul them over there, I think I turned a reasonable profit. A dollar a block.
