Unused parts

Frikitiki · 06-21-2009, 12:37 PM

When you buy various toys what do you do with the extras that you don't use? I have a bucket load of stuff and don't feel right throwing it away. IE buy external drive they give you both USB and Firewire cable. Only use USB cable. or buy a new MP3 player or phone and get another headset when you already have your favorite ear buds.

Decent headphones go up on Amazon.

Cables get saved in a bag in the garage, since they eventually die.

Kill them. Kill them fast and without mercy.

Gone, no goodbye, just gone from my house, hello trash heap and global waste management issues.

I put them in a large drawer. Then, when it filled up (this is at work mind you) I sorted those into cords I was likely to use and those there were unlikely. The likely ones stayed in the drawer. The unlikelies into a box in the storage closet. I'd used some from the unlikely box. You never know what you just mind need sometime.

Into a large shopping bag. This gets stored in the bookshelf until they're needed for unexpected moments. It usually works well for us.

Stored in a baggie in the closet with all the CDs/software and manuals for the various toys. Eventually I need one for something else.

When I first read the title of this thread I thought it said "Unused Pets".
