Giving, Selling Or Throwing Away Unused Objects: a Complex Decision
Based on a 6-months-ethnography research, we study how consumers choose between giving, selling or throwing away. We show that this decision depends on product values, consumers’ skills and habits, and practices’ meanings. These results constitute strong managerial implications for charities, C2C platforms and redistributions’ actors.
