There is an Reddit article where the OP mentions that his Esperantist grandfather has passed away and now they don't know what to do with all the numerous Esperanto books and magazines.

Donate 'em to the local library.

A library would likely throw them away.

Esperanto-USA, the US Esperanto association, will accept donations of old books and periodicals, I am pretty sure. I think they sell them on their website in the used books section.

I'd put them on ebay more or less at the price of P&P.

Anyway, the original Reddit thread says that the person has already dealt with it, they contacted their local Esperanto association, who will be sending someone to take the stuff.

For me, the Esperanto association is the best way of making sure the stuff goes to a loving home, assuming you're not trying to make some kind of profit off of it. The stuff will be redistributed via a used book section at the book service, whether an online used book section, or a used book section at an Esperanto convention.
