    A listing price is just an asking price. It's not a true
    indication what something is worth, but that's how we are
    conditioned to perceive value.

    I have a pile of AT parts: ribbons, ram, etc.. all over the
    place. I even have a fine, brand new, never used gigbyte brand
    mobo for a pc upgrade that never happend.

    I have so much old junk like ISA cards, SCSI cables, and the like. I just shoved them all into a couple of boxes and stuck them outside covered with a tarp. Unfortunately, I didn't realize it had blown off in a storm and everything got soaked. Not sure it'll be worth anything to anyone.

    KVM switches, cases, cables.

    The only thing I never ditch are hard drives. I've used an obsolete board to replace one with blown components on a friends drive and recovered his data so I'm reluctant to throw those away.
