Well I don't really know either, but I had a party in November, and they had a special going on where if your party totaled like $300 or $400 then you get like $30 worth the retired stuff. So my best guess is maybe thats what they do with all of the leftovers. But I'm wondering about really expensive stuff like the watercolor crayons?
We asked the SU guide that on the campus tour at convention last year. Some are donated to children's hospitals, but mostly they shred the rubber and sell it as ground material for under children's playground equipment or in barns/stables for horses and other animals. The wood blocks are put back to use with other stamp sets.

Well donating to children's hospitals is great, but shreding the rubber!!!! Thats horrible!!! and to think we could have been using thoes stamps!:mrgreen:
I know people who have made requests for donations from SU have gotten boxes of retired stamp sets, paper, etc. Someone on here a while ago (a year or more, maybe) was posting about the HUGE box of stuff that had been sent to them for a project. (For a church, maybe?)
Anyway, at least SOME of the retired stamp sets will wind up as part of their charitable contributions, not just at the park under the kids. ;)
I wonder why , when the retired list comes out, SU doesn't sell everything off at a discount. This way they could potentially get rid of all the last year's product (except maybe the "Children of the Corn" stamp set)LOL.

I agree with shredding the children of the corn!!
I know that when I requested a donation for my churches silent auction this spring, I got 9 retired sets and a bunch of retired paper, markers, and a scrapbook

I got a big donation last summer, end of August...for my church's card ministry...I got a huge stack of cardstock, a bunch of stamp sets, 3 ink pads, a stack of buttons, stampin mist, a glitter stack, some porcelian ornaments, I traded the glitter stack and the ornaments, couldn't see us using them for church stuff, and got 2 stamp sets from them! SU! was fabulous to give us the donation....
Is there really a children of the corn stamp set?? Is there a sickle in the set??
OMGosh.

Just joking, it's a set in the 2005/2006 catty that depicts "cute" kids, however it's kind of creepy. That's why it's been named the "Children of the Corn" set.;)
