Reply to comment by BobbyTheDude in LPT: If your microwave dies, donate the glass tray before throwing out the appliance. Someone has broken theirs and will love finding it at a thrift store. by pioneertele

as someone who volunteers at a thrift store, we will sell pretty much anything that’s brought in, including microwave trays. my local goodwill seems to follow the same rule because i’ve found some questionable things there before. besides, i’d rather have something sit on a shelf than clog up a landfill

But you don't have an infinite amount of shelf.

And everything ever made is gonna end up in landfill eventually anyway.

You don't have an infinite amount of shelf space but it's not like it has to stay until it sells. No reason you can't take it off if it doesn't sell in 2 weeks and then toss it. At least it was attempted to be resold then and maybe someone would buy it, maybe not, but you can't know if you don't try.
