Picture the scene:

There are 7 raaco small component storage racks in the garage like
these:

http://www.raacostorage.co.uk/raaco-...86-c2x14054698

They have been filled slowly over 30 years with the thought of €œthat
will be useful one day€� or €œits useful to have spares€�

Now much of this has lain unused and rarely used in anger.

Trouble is its a lot of hassle to itemise everything for sale Via say
eBay or gumtree with the associated packaging, postage and posting it
given the small value or low quantity so I am torn between keeping or
binning...

Examples include 1a, 2A, 3A, 5A, 7A, 10a and 13a plug fuses

The entire range of values for car blade type fuses in a coloured
plastic case, which are still used on todays cars

A selection of car bulbs

Assorted screws of various types, lengths and diameters

Ditto for nails

A selection of fixings commonly found in self assembly furniture like
wood dowels, screw and cams.

Phono plus and sockets

LEDs of various colours

Etc etc....

So whats your criteria for keeping or binning?

Get rid of the lot..............Car boot sale.
Keep the fuses and spare bulbs.

The trouble with ' keeping it as it may prove useful someday ' is that
when that day comes you can never find it

Thats unlikely when they are stored like he does.
