“…There were elements of pleasurable play accompanied by mainly arduous work as shoppers’ thrift for fun to realize consumer fantasies and to pursue the unexpected (Bardhi & Arnould, 2005). ‘…they like to play shopkeeper; taking beautiful pictures, displaying their objects appropriately, setting prices, negotiating and so on’ (Cerio & Debenedetti, 2021, p. 585). Disposition by selling is a game to them.…”

While there is a fair amount of research on consumer disposal, there is scant research on value in disposition and a need for more research on the role of social media in the consumer disposal decision-making process. This research provides insights into how consumers create value-in disposal through social media ‘closet cleanout’ pages on Instagram. Through a grounded theory approach, interviews with Instagram closet cleaners reveal how value-in disposition is enacted using Holbrook’s (1998) classification of value. The findings show the multidimensional nature of value in digital disposal and empirically substantiate the enduring nature of Holbrook’s (1998) value conceptualization.

“…This togetherness allows individuals to feel others’ misfortunes while appreciating their current health and wealth conditions. Such appreciation results in individuals’ more significant consideration toward less fortunate others and automatically triggers their desire to reduce others’ misfortune by becoming involved in prosocial behaviors such as donating used clothes (Bajde, 2009; Cerio and Debenedetti, 2021). According to the theory of philanthropy, individuals donate their clothes to reduce others’ misfortune.…”

Purpose This study aims to investigate the secondhand clothes (SHC) donating behavior phenomenon using the cognitive-affective-conative model and examines the moderating role of COVID-19 knowledge on the relationship between the desire to donate and actual SHC donating behavior. Design/methodology/approach A total of 160 questionnaires were distributed to potential participants who donated their clothes to thrift shops during the COVID-19 pandemic in the USA. Findings A total of 145 useable surveys were collected for analysis. The study found that the desire to donate SHC plays an essential role in enhancing actual SHC donating behavior. In addition, the study found that perceived responsibility and altruistic fear positively influence the desire to donate SHC. In contrast, individuals’ COVID-19 knowledge does not moderate the relationship between the desire to donate SHC and actual SHC donating behavior. Originality/value A limited empirical study uses the cognitive–affective–conative approach to SHC donating behavior. The findings of this study enhance the body of SHC’s theoretical knowledge and enhance individuals’ participation in donation programs in support of their community and humanitarian programs.
