Help Me Decide How to Giveaway Some C++ Books Here on DC

<< < (5/5)

mouser:
The badges page lists people who have done coding snacks and programming school stuff, and nany stuff:
https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?action=badges

Maybe what would be useful would be for us to set up a mailing list for such people who are involved in such things, and when people have things they want to give away, it could go to this mailing list?

tinjaw:
Wow. I have been bringing home work for over a week. And it will continue for another. Most things are backed up, piled up, dangling, unread, unprocessed, unfinished. This is one of them.

OK folks. Nothing has inspired me yet it terms of how to give these away. I will probably just end up giving them to whoever asks for them. Seems like a waste.  :(

Maybe sell them and donate the proceeds instead to a good cause. Comments?

rno2:
What about an auction with the proceeds going to donationcoders?

or an 'auction' with the proceeds going to the charity of your choice?

actually, why not just put a price on them with the above as a criteria, ie i assume from your descriptions the books are all mint, so 50% of the replacement price probably wouldn't be unreasonable (YMMV - I have no experience here, but this seems like a reasonable guesstimate).  User pays shipping, and the funds to go the charity...
