Sincerely, need advice on how to sell vintage dildos
I know that a jury will probably delete this post but I'm putting it up here because I don't think this community will humiliate me.
My son was in an accident about a year ago and passed away. I immediately put his things in storage and just recently was able to dig up the emotional courage to go through and sort them out.
Brad was gay, which was fine with me and the rest of his family. He also had a lot of sex toys that I found in storage, which is fine by me. That was his business.
What I don't know is how I should get rid of them. There are a couple boxes of them. It's not the kind of thing you hand to a garbage man or drop off at Goodwill.
I've cleaned and sterilized them all (that was a sight).* It seems to be an expensive collection. Rather than bring them to the dump, I'd like to sell them and donate the money to PFLAG. I'm not trying to sell them here. I'm just wondering if anyone knows where I can.
Maybe this is pointless. But any information or ideas would be appreciated.

1. I hope your post won't be deleted. I would not try to sell them.
"Expensive collection" seems a relative term, and I suspect that the real value her is that they were your son's property.
I can't blame you if you're averse to just kind of concealing them in the trash, or the neighbor's trash, or one at a time at the local Chic Fil A trash.
Goodwill is just out of the question.
I would put them in general pick up, maybe over a period of a few pickups, in plain bags and mixed up with general refuse.
Don't feel shame, shame is a product of "community values" not real values.

3. I'd like to help, seriously - perhaps only by kicking.
Not only because it's painful to throw away a collection that apparently meant something to a lost loved one, but if some of the items are vintage, they might be worth something to a collector of such items. I've discovered over the years that there is a market for pretty much anything, if you know where to look.
My only thought would be if there an "adult" store in town you might not be to squigged out to walk into, you may want to ask them if they know of a collector who might be interested in actual vintage items, or how to otherwise dispose of them. (20 years ago, I had a temporary rent-mate who worked behind camera in the gay porn business and in an adult novelty shop, and some of the stories he could tell...) There may be a market for used sex toys, if they have been sanitized and are in decent condition.
Good luck, and maybe one of the lounge residents who are more familiar with the kinkier side of town might have a good suggestion.

4. I don't think there's a market for used sex toys, no matter how sterile.
I think the suggestion of slowly tossing them over a period of weeks is you best option. If you have any male gay friends you might want to check it with them.

5. I think it depends on how old the "antique" is.
If we are talking about used sex toys, then no I don't think so, but if we are talking about kinda artifact old dildos then I think there is a market. What do you mean by antique?
I am so immature I still can't believe I just typed dildo.

6. you might research Ebay
I don't know if you're allowed to sell those there, to be on the safe side, but worth checking out. They sell almost anything there, as long as it's not illegal.

7. How about donating the collection to PFLAG?
My son was in an accident about a year ago and passed away.
Brad was gay, which was fine with me and the rest of his family. He also had a lot of sex toys
If I came upon anything that had been inserted into another person's private parts, I'd don a triple-thick pair of rubber gloves, put it into a box, and ship it off to a nuclear-waste facility.
There are some things one doesn't need hanging around.
After reading about the other DUmmy, who can't figure out what to do with some half-empty bottles of Drakkar Noir and Grecian Formula, I offer the same advice:
Put all of those old sex toys in a box, and put the box in your car.
Drive all over town.
Give those old sex toys to the hobos who panhandle at intersections and on-ramps. Hobos love butt plugs!
Video your random acts of kindness, and share the videos at the DUmp.
I guess I just reached the end of the first paragraph of scrotie mcboogerballs. :puke:
Southpark reference.

There aren't enough "f"s in this world to express my WTF
How old, crude or used do sex toys have to be to be considered "vintage"?
I'm surprised that Judy grasswire, who's into things "vintage," hasn't shown up at this thread.DUmmie could take them to the next "Antique Road Show" and find out what they're worth and the best way/place to sell them.

I don't remember seeing "pine cone on a string" listed among those vintage gay sex toys. That's what tugs on ol' Judy's bobber!
Oh, wait, Judy grasswire's the one who buys junk and sells it as treasure, right?
This sort of thing's right up her alley.:rimshot:
Right. This sort of thing's right up her alley.

I would say 'yes.' :naughty:
Take all the sex toys along with any empty booze bottles and beer cans and dump them all out on a friends yard very late some Saturday night. Sunday morning--Punked!
She could try craigslist.Couldn't read them...kept jumping about...and no, I wasn't busy.

I mean, really.

You don't suppose a vintage toy has anything to do with DUmmy Lu's absence from the cooking group, do you?
Selling used rectal appliances is probably illegal in many states.
Who would buy used sex toys? The mind boggles.
If it isn't, it should be.Shoving stuff up your ass is the reason hospitals have those red 'Biohazard' disposal bins.

MMMMM, this may have some connection with the fad of the late 20- late 50's.
It seemed that most bathrooms I entered as a little girl had these bright pink bags hung over the shower head with a long tube and at the end some kind of device with lots of holes and only twice the size of a pencil. When I asked what is that I was told it was an adult cleaning device.
To my horror in school I finally found out that these were Enema Bags . Then I found out the problems with holding the bag too high on a patient--------. HA, want to hear a patent yell, just increase the height by a foot or more.
Why and how these cleaning devices came about I suspect that after the wars without antibiotics the returning GI'S, and the woman they left behind overseas soon to die of any number of STD'S -----The old shake up a bottle of coke just was not working.
:wtf2: :runaway: :thatsright: :stoner:Vesta's got a lot of mileage.

I'll probably go to hell for this, but honestly my first thought was "Why don't you just shove them up your ass, DUmmy?"
I'll denounce myself now.

Not so fast. I'm quite sure more than a few DUmmies were actually considering doing just that.

Out of all the places on the world wide web this person felt the DUmp was the best place to go for advice on selling fecal covered used sex toys without being humiliated. That's saying something.

It depends.
What's Gina's going price?
*runs like hell*
The really sad part is when she went to the hospital to meet the doctors they had to ask her if she wanted them to pull the plug...Hey now, it saves funeral cost if you already have your butt plugged....the undertaker doesn't have to do it.
...twice.
