A overwhelming score

Especially when the plugs keep falling out and now you have a pile of IC's in the bottom of the box. So far I have found a couple of pounds of epoxy coated Tantalum caps. And wouldn't you know the first box of IC tubes I went through I found two tubes of gold capped w/gold legs ceramic IC's. Hundreds of tubes later, they were still the only ones I had. I believe it safe to say that I'll know more than I ever wanted to about these components by the time I get done selling or trying to sell them on Ebay. Can I interest anyone in a bag of 11,800 1.2 ohm, 1/4 w resistors? Got to get back to listing. Free listing event expires at midnight tonight.

Look on the bright side, you're now like me lol with hundreds of different components to sell. IF you need help id'ing stuff, post it here and one of us will help.

NOT quite his are new NOS. You selling de-soldered parts;

I sell NOS all the time. New has two categories "new" and "new with certificate of compliance". I sell in bulk to retailers. you need two things to do this and make money. 1: buy cheap selling like this expect to get 3-8% of retail. 2: a product list with date coades. RoHS products sell better and for a premium. Also if that have the CoC the sell for a premium. If they do not its a crap shoot on what you get.

I am torn as to whether I should unload all or at least most quickly or hang onto a bunch and get top dollar. I seem to find myself in this same situation fairly often. Generally, what happens is I unload the majority quickly and then complain about all the future sales I lost. A little later on, I start thinking what the heck, at minimum I tripled my investment and got the $$$ back fast to re-invest. Well, this didn't work either. I was hoping a light bulb might come on as I was typing this. Alas, my socket has shorted out. I'll see what I can do concerning photos.
