I too have held onto items for way too long. In one case, I had the unit for almost 2 years. While moving others around, I realized this and ended up selling a few weeks later.

In the late 70s a guy bought in a very nice reel to reel to be
repaired. It was completed within two weeks. None of our calls or
letters were answered. Three years later we were moving the business
so we sold it. Two weeks later he showed up to pick up the unit. He
had moved to Alaska and expected us to hold on to it in perpetuity and
was very upset.

I thought you were going to tell us he'd gone to prison. I guess serve in
the army would work too. "I knew I wouldn't need it for a while, so I
thought I'd store it with you for two years".
