I am sat here with boxes of old gear and cannot bring myself to throw it:
Box of iPod leads, fm transmitters, iPod Dock, iPod remote etc etc all circa 2005 and before I suspect. USB cables, headphones, adsl filters, telephone splitters.
Cannot believe it is worth diddly squat.
Tempted to box it and hide it but rather if went somewhere constructive and not the dump.

your probably like me. The pain of dealing with ebay doesn't warrant the return.
two ipads, an iphone, various bits n pieces...

I spent a few hours this afternoon sorting through my pc collection as swmbo said enough is enough :'(
If I am being honest my pc 'collection' is way beyond enough, guess I am just a born hoarder
Anyhow got seven old pcs ready to go to the dump from 386's to Pentium 2's, she'll need to try harder if she wants any newer ones taken to the dump ;D
It all started off several years ago with a few ex-office pc's and now resembles a pc's graveyard, :)
I still have to look into sorting out my car stuff :'(

Do you want to buy a 3com III Ethernet link circa 2003? Quite progressive in its time.

Then if you are ready to bin it,Why not offer it for free to others on here who may look at it as a upgrade,,, Thats what i have done in the past on here, :y

Happily but not sure mods would condone it - plus listing items will be a PITA.

Way too many times :y
Just last week as I was chucking an old pc in the tip I spotted a newish looking Dell, it was only the presence of swmbo that stopped me fishing it out and giving it a loving home ;D
The 3 com network card reminds me that I have a full shoe box of 3 com cards, used to fit them to folks machines that upgraded from dial-up to broadband, just remembered I kept all their bloody modems I swapped out :'(
-
Freecycle it as "box of random computer stuff" .. someone will have it, I'm sure.
-
Car boot sales used to be great to get rid of all your 'treasure'
Problem now is that they are full of folk selling pound store junk
Requires an early start but spent many happy weekend mornings there, I forget how many Haynes manuals I got there over the years

Gonna get myself an iPhone one day, when I get over the excrement of being a proud owner of a colour screen mobile and my current SE T68i decides to give up the ghost. ;)

Sure enough the t68 and little Camera attachment are in my "collection".

I sell computerised medical equipment.
Every time we buy a computer, monitor, printer whatever, it comes with a UK power cable and tons of other stuff. We don't use any of it, we use our own for various technical reasons.
I have boxes and boxes of power cables (probably 100s of brand new ones) , VGA cables all sorts. I cant be arsed to eGay it, or Freecycle it, but at the same time its too good to take down the dump. So, my cable pile just gets bigger and bigger. But moving office soon, so it really will need to go ! :y

It's an iphone 4 actually Mr Taxi Al, but whatever it is its certainly not a fony! :P
Ipad 1 and ipad mini. They'd certainly sell, if I could be arsed.

When he says 'PM' I think he means Personal Molester.. or possibly Professional Mugger..

I guess its an age thing, I have an iPhone 4 and hate the bloody thing. It has a mind of its own. One day I was driving along with it laying on the pax seat, and a friend phoned me. I stopped to take the call. " Why did you just ring me?" says friend, which I hadn't, but the bloody phone had. >:( >:( >:(

I have a hankering for an 8210. Tiny little thing with ever lasting battery. Then i remember the 8850, then its replacememt, and its replacement, then... I end up back at the n900 nightmare and an iphone ::) ;D

How many do you want? I still keep a few for those get-me-out-of-trouble occasions. And a couple of Novell NE2000 ISA cards.

My old gayPhone I put an old IOS on it so it ran as well as it did when I first got it, and gave it to my Mum. She loves it, but then she came from a crappy Samsung flip phone, that was a hand-me-down from my niece.

As suggested in thread, this is not compliant with our guidelines I'm afraid.
I agree with the sentiment of offering OOFers our offcasts, but there are other considerations that make it a can of worms :'(. Hence, I'm always taking PCs and laptops down to the tip, most of them perfectly servicable. Embarrassingly, I now need one that I threw away. Bugger ;D

What did you need....Im sat here next to a win98 laptop working perfectly thats about to go? (with serial)

As mentioned earlier Freecycle is good for unloading stuff that you can't bring yourself to take to the tip. Gumtree is also good! :y

Is there anything left still working to plug those in to? :o
They were what I spent the first year or two of my working career fitting.. that and 10base-2 networks..

Bloody youngsters ;D
I actually used one a year or 2 ago, somebody had a Compaq Prosignia running NetWare 4 with a failed NIC.
