Where to Donate/Sell Pre-Loved Items/Appliances?

It took us more than two years to clear more than 50 years worth of accumulated stuff from my childhood home. We had meter+ deep cabinets, so you can just imagine how much storage my Mom had in the house. She kept everything and that meant finding appliances used when I was still a child! We didn't have the time or energy to host a garage sale, so we found ways to donate and sell the items best used by someone else. 

Here's a list of where we donated and sold the excess items from my childhood home -

Donation centers:

• Library Hub Philippines - for books and useful office/school supplies
• Goodwill Philippines - pre-loved items (clothes, kitchen items etc.). We donated more than 200 mugs that were mostly unused, plus useful kitchen items, bags, clothes etc.
• Ateneo de Naga - where we sent my Dad's law books (coordinated through my cousin in Naga)

Items sold:

• 
  A.C. Scrap - old airconditioners
• Fernando Delgado junk shop - other junk like very old appliances 
• Old furniture (cabinets/cribs) was bought by the contractor and some of the workers

The proceeds of the sale were used to pay for our decluttering coach whose team helped finally pack and clear everything from the house. Some of the proceeds were also used for the ground-breaking and blessing of the property.

I still have some items which will go to relatives (mostly plates and drinkware). I also gave some furniture away since there's a lot. I'm expecting to give away more once the construction is done (it's currently stored and un-movable). We'll be using most of the key furniture (like the dining set), but I'll need to have it refurbished.
