Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Donating comics to charity?

Howdy,
I'm currently trying to ditch around 8 long boxes of comics. My parameters:
1) I don't want to use eBay. It's gotten terrible in the past few years.
2) My local comic shops aren't buying, even at the normal crappy comic shop prices.
3) I've posted an ad on Craigslist ( http://bham.craigslist.org/clt/938484345.html ), but Craigslist doesn't work so well in Alabama.
Has anybody donated comic books to charity before? I'm wondering whether taking a deduction on my taxes would be a good option. How is the deduction calculated, and how would I go about documenting what I donated?
I found a website (http://www.collectibleswithcauses.org), but I don't know anything about them, and they seem a little sketchy (they offer free vacations... "not a scam!").
Any help would be appreciated.

I gave up on eBay and my local comic shops too. Old comics are hard to move (unless they're old enough to be the first issue ever of Superman or something.)
I believe MileHighComics.com will also buy comics. Probably at a very low price, but hey. Better than nothing.
