Need Help! Looking for Gently Used....

Not sure if this is under the correct forum but I think that those who might be able to help would have children so I'll start here.

I am returning to work as a Loudoun County teacher in the Fall and after 6 years home to be with my kiddos I am in need of some gently used items to stock the classroom! Before this I did the yard sale treks but since technology has come such a long way I thought I'd start here and then resort to fighting the fleas at a flea market if I had too!

I am in search of the following (with all of their pieces) and would be truly APPRECIATIVE if you had any that were collecting dust and needed a good new home:

Please feel free to email me or respond and I'd be happy to drop by and pick them up! Thanks in advance!

Board Games (think 5-7 year old age range) : such as (but not limited to) Sorry, Boggle, Battle Ship, Checkers, EZ chess for kids, Trouble, Uno, Memory, Monopoly, Sequence for kids, Connect 4, Operation, etc.

Toys: Legos- small size, Cash register, marble mazes, rubiks cube, dominoes, sports equipment for outside (balls, jump ropes, etc),

Books: Early Readers, Step into Reading, Fairy Tales, Early childhood Dictionaries, picture Dictionaries, magic treehouse series, junie b jones series, cam jansen, Beverly Cleary, etc.

You can check Salvation Army or Goodwill for used games as you probably already realize. Also, check on Ebay, consignment and thrift stores. Just a few suggestions. Also, check the Dollar stores (all stores) and Big Lots. You might get discounted products from Target and Wal-mart if you tell them you are a teacher.

Since we send our kids to a private school, our PTA was able to get deep discounts for kids' games by asking Big Lots and other retailers for discounts. Bartering is also a great way to receive goods and/or services.
