Extended channels of distribution provide numerous options for consumers who wish to move still useful but unwanted products to other consumers. The rationales consumers use in choosing disposal options, including those resulting in redistribution, are described. Affect and demographic correlates for each disposition tendency provide information to help develop consumer behavior theory regarding redistribution, as well as provide strategic implications for extended channels.
