if someone is bulk buying for photocards
then just re-sell those albums for a much cheaper price with info that they don't have photocards
and you can go to a local orphanage or school and of course give kids few copies just as a gift
not a "donation"

What does a donation do? NOTHING!
The last thing these people are doing is charity. They just want to get rid of the albums.

True.

Right? They act like they are "giving away albums for charity" but face it they are just throwing albums that they don't want away to another avenue who doesn't even need them.
I could never. Every single album is my faves hard sweat and tears Ima treasure it
I bulk buy and then just give away the extra albums to my students lol. I do ask beforehand who wants one though, so nobody feels like guilted into accepting an album.
Just sell it. It will be cheaper so a lot of people are going to be interested to buy it even if you sell album only, poster only, etc.

Can you be my teacher please
can they just give them to people who cant afford to buy album but wants it, like me
Can you be my teacher please
I feel like your English is probably way too good haha, that being said I'm sure the boss of my school would happily accept if it meant more money for him lol
They don't want to re-sell, bc It means less copies sold by their faves, since a lot of people would buy from them instead of stores etc. They just dont care

of course, do you whant one? but i only buy brave girls albums. 
There are plenty of other ways to give bulk albums away. Our local libraries have book, record and movie donation bins to replenish their inventory.
Also local charities have what they call a swap, buy and sell where you can take items like records which are always popular.
Here we also have Repeat the Beat which sells used records. A good place to look into to make a little extra cash.
There is also a giant flee market every Saturday here where you could set up a table and resell

Oh yeah that makes sense. It's really a pity.
I mean it's not morally wrong but I hope they don't act like they're doing real charity here. They would've thrown away the albums if it weren't for the charity (more like they were treating the charity as a dump yard).

That's even worse. Treating charity as a dump yard.
They just want to get rid of it.

Koreans still buying CD’s in 2021
Yes. A lot
Not only Koreans 
there was a kboo article about this last year
can't link it tho
Saw this last year too
It's not just fans doing this, sellers do as well. This is in the fine print of those "discounts* Ktown4u runs with fanbases
That's crazy. Just sell them or keep them. It'd just be better to sell them and use the money for yourself than to give it to kids who don't want or need albums.
You can sell the albums and give the orphanages money or buy books, toys, food, clothing, etc. with that money.
What exactly are they supposed to do with an album?
I can understand giving them to libraries or even cafes so they can loan them out or play the music but I've always felt uncomfortable with sending albums to orphanages and places like that. I'm really happy that BTS doesn't do fan signs anymore. It's stopped much of the bulk buying for albums. Still some China bars bulk buying though.
I'd rather have physical merch than digital tbh... 
I genuinely didn't know it was a thing. It's not charity, it's people who bought five albums because they wanted their bias' photocard or something, and then don't know what to do with these albums they don't need.
There are plenty of people who can't afford albums and would love to receive one. If you want to actually make people happy, it's not that hard.
People are really donating albums to orphanages? OMG,,,
Kids in my orphanages don't have clothes/food/personal space/ A LAPTOP TO PLAY THE CD and to donate an album to them? Damn, some people are stupid.
I really applaud the fans who donate money, even in the name of the idol because it really helps them, but,,, albums?
Another reason for people to consider kpop fans stupid and childish.

agree with merc but cd’s😳🤷♀️

LMAO GOOD POINT 😂
LMAO GOOD POINT 😂
Plus you pay a lot more in shipping 😩
can they just give them to people who cant afford to buy album but wants it, like me
In kr u can straight up go to some store and picked up the already opened album for free . No PC,ETC .
it just trash .
And to gave to people that who can't afford buy album will cost alot of money . We're talking storage for thousands of album and who's gonna take care of the data of 1000s of people who wants it (address,etc) .
And who's gonna take care of ship it??.
It's just a trash behavior , they don't want any hands in that . That's why alot of Chinese fanbase have non shiped album. Meaning u just pay money don't get the album And reduce the shipping cost .
Coz the album will not go out of Korea .

There must be a better way.
Also company that offer incentives to bulk buy need to stop:
Companies should think about selling TPCG instead of albums. Less waste.

Aside from the way the user conveyed it, I don't disagree.
I wish they implemented a system where if people donate X amount, it would count as an album sale and the money can be given to orphanages to be used for necessities.

Care to explain what exactly happened? From the context clues I gathered I am guessing someone donated albums to a orphanage.
I guess it would make sense if the orphanage was filled with kpop fans, but I am also guessing this orphanage was not filled with kpop fans.
So, yeah people if you gonna buy albums to donate to orphanages you might want to sell those albums or the things in the albums and donate the money you earned from selling it.
The only way this is going to stop if there is a law put in place limiting purchases. That law would not pass by the way. Legislators and lobbyist tend to think about money in the immediate future rather than pollution in the long-term.
