what can i do with an old alternator?

i replaced my alt in august and still have the old one sitting here. i could have or still can return it for a core but i figured it might cost me too much money to mail it for a 50 dollar core refund.

I took mine apart.. played around, put it back together, put in back in the box and its still somewhere. pretty useless.

Same story with my other parts such as powersteering pump.
