I own six guitars. In order of price paid they are:
1. Fender AVRI 1952 Telecaster (previous version)
2. Epiphone 50th Anniversary Les Paul 1960 Standard Version 1
3. Fender MIM Standard Stratocaster
4. Epiphone Les Paul Jr
5. Squier "Esquire"
6. Ibanez GIO.
I really no longer play #'s 4, 5, and 6 and have considered letting them go. If I am not going to play them, I feel that someone else should. All are in like new condition (I'm a home player), and have been modified with price appropriate upgrades (pickups, pots, switches, etc., but no $500 pickups in a $100 guitar). All sound different from each other and (to me at least) better than stock. They each come in a soft sided case.
I know I am not going to get a lot of money for them as they were inexpensive to begin with, usually bought on sale, and the Ibanez was won in a contest (that I forgot I entered). It seems that I have two options:
1. Sell them outright (probably to Guitar Center as I have no interest in selling on E-Bay or Craig's List) for whatever I can get for them, or
2. donating them to Goodwill/Salvation Army, letting them sell them and taking a (reasonable) tax deduction.
What do you all think would be the best course of action?
