Homeless Wires?

BladesP9 asks: "I'm in the process of moving. As such, I have stumbled upon no less than five boxes of wires and various parts. Everything from PS2, SCSI, FireWire, USB and God knows what. Having forgotten all about this stuff I know I will never be needing any of this again as long as I live. Not to mention the roughly 100 boxes of 10 pack 5.25 inch floppy discs. I could just throw all this stuff away, but I am feeling somewhat guilty about that. Is there anywhere I should look to donating this stuff? It doesn't seem like the kind of thing 'Goodwill' would really get use of, but I hate to throw away perfectly good hardware and media if someone could make use of it. I'm looking for suggestions. My wife has given me until the end of the week to find a home for it or I have to take it to the dump."

    My wife has given me until the end of the week to find a home for it or I have to take it to the dump.

    While you're at it, why don't you take your testicles, too? You don't seem to be using them. You should be ashamed of yourself for admitting such a thing in public. You don't bring home money? You don't run your own house? I bet she made you give up all your cool rock band tee-shirts after she moved in, too?

    What a tool.

  2. Try Craigslist. by Myself · · Score: 5, Interesting

    eBay isn't sensible for stuff that costs more to ship than it's worth.

    Post on Craigslist and get some local geeks to come pick it up.
