I have given many away and sold some on ebay but the bags I sold on ebay really were giveaways - I got so little for the fabulous bags I sold (all designer, all over a thousand) I don't think I will ever do it again - no one ever believes you area selling a real bag and the listings are expensive - just not worth it. So, I haven't really found the right solution to this problem.
What do you do with your old handbags?

Me, I'm still in college. But I dont think I would ever get rid of designer handbags. But as far as the non-designer bags, if I dont like them anymore I give them to Goodwill (I did that after high school) because I can write it off on my taxes.
i have given a few to my mother (she has a thing against carrying expensive handbags yet does support my collecting them, she actually has admitted to loving my cerise speedy..haha) and some i have sold on ebay. it is funny how once you make the leap from the lesser expensive bags to Vuitton, Chloe, etc you can't ever settle for less again! haha 
The cheaper ones are sold at garage sales or donated to the Salvation Army. I haven't had to sell an expensive one yet, but I do have them piled up for a future listing on eBay.
I give them away. Some times I keep them for traveling. After the last terror treat. I feel really not happy about traveling with expensive luggage and handbags. I don't want to be headed somewhere and I have to make a decision to leave my carryone for the trasporation department to get for free. Just the other day I total the makeup items in my purse. It was in the hundreds. No aincluding what was in my carryon bag. as long as the money in insde it don't make a difference.
I will take them off you hands. Swap with your friends. Trade. Some of my friends trade St Johns kints and excada suits.
I recycle some as makeup and toiletry bags for travel because I can't seem to find the right size for all my important stuff! The other bags go to my girlfriends or they get donated.
