A very noble sentiment, and I must admit that I too have often considered donating a lot of no-longer-used stuff to struggling music schools in low-income areas of the city, or even Public schools in poor and underserved districts (there are plenty of them). There are two reasons that I have not: 1. Laziness', and 2. I am fortunate enough to have the space to store them. If you're as lazy as I am, it's just easier to put them on a shelf in a storeroom than go through the hassle of selling or even donating them. Shameful but just being honest. I don't think that is 'hoarding' in the true sense of the word, but in any case, it's just MY business so - moot point. As SOME measure of redemption, I do offer most of my unused stuff to my musician grandson who usually refuses it, plus, my son discourages it (he probably just doesn't want all that junk at HIS house .

Overall, I think some people are much too quick to judge what other people do, especially in areas that don't concern them. Everyone's situation is different so it's hugely arrogant to think that they have the "answer" for everyone else. Thank goodness we live in America where we're free to think (and act) for ourselves (well at least until maybe next election).
