Help! I need to unload a bunch of cheap mini pedals

I went thru a period of buying a whole bunch of these just to try different stuff to see if I liked it well enough to get the real deal.
Now I got a big box full of these things, some are really good, some are just ok, and a few are pretty much dogsht.
Ive got a real deal full sized version now of everything I liked for the most part and I dont really care for the mini pedal format.
They all cost me $20-$30 with only a few pricier exceptions, and the shipping is prob more than most of them are worth not to mention the hassle.
So I want to bundle em and and offer them that way.

I figured Id ask if if anybody has a kid or otherwise deserving person they'd like to gift em to. Im talking batches of 6 or so at minimum, and the deal is you gotta take at least one that I consider a real dog in the batch.
If anybody is interested I'll lay em all out w my opinion on each and take a pic of the whole bunch and y'all can make your picks and throw me something aproximating the shipping cost. Im thinking that $15-$20 should cover a box of half a doz of em.

Find out if there’s a local music nonprofit that can use them. There are lots of groups out there that put used gear in the hands of kids with no money. You might be able to drop all of them off at once instead of making shipping runs.

I've looked around for some local orgs like that with no luck. Only musical non profits for disadvantaged youth close by are classical music oriented. Id have to travel at least 100 miles to drop em off anywhere that might take em.

Ah, I'd be up for this but on the wrong continent. Shipping and import duties would probably cost more than buying 6 of these pedals new off Amazon UK. Good luck with it.
 
I'm game, though I have no group to donate the pedals.

Actually I’m kidding about my address. I did the same thing a few years ago with mini pedals. Bought about 10, liked about 4.

I have to find time to get em all laid out, organized, photographed, and see how many fit into the boxes that I have saved up ( standard box my meds comes in), and get a weight and ballpark shipping from post office for whatever fits in those boxes. Pretty sure they'll hold 5-6 in but I gotta see.
Soon as I can get all that done I'll make a post over on the spam board and update this thread.
 
ok I checked my boxes hold 5 pedals, and took pics. Posting the dealeo over in the Spam Section y'all can ck em out soon as they go up.
Never made it to the PO to ck wt and shipping but we'll just go w $15 bucks/batch anywhere in continental US.

edit: OK the post is up. I structured the deal this way to make sure I get rid of all of em and y'all dont just cherry pick the good ones and leave me the rest to throw away. Plus it conforms to my idea of a gift to somebody in need of a pedalboard.
That may change once the choices get narrowed down.
Have a look.

Thanks to y'all made a good dent already. Im updating the spam thread before bedtime.
When it gets down to the scraps I just might start dropping some other stuff in the pile to sweeten the deal, could be a pricier mini( I still have a few more dear ones), or even a full sized pedal I now have a duplicate or replacement for.
 
UPDATE-yall are awesome thanks to everybody who took me up on this!
It's now down to 5 gains, a chorus, and 2 buffers.
(I'll keep one buffer unless you really want it).
Gonna let all the rest go for the same deal.
Well worth it IMO just for the Silver Horse and the General Fuzz.
