This.

I typically give decent gear away to other trades, I keep a few older, decent AVRs, speakers and bluray players around to give to friends/family to use in garages, shops and the like. The rest of the stuff that is functional gets donated or dropped off as E-waste. I have a family member who is big in a local church, they hold electronics recycling events a couple times a year so I drop off over there.

Or if it is newer then what I have and still functional, I rotate it into my own house. I don't mind being a generation or two back on electronics if I get them for free. Honestly, I hate spending money on gear for myself.
