I've been cursed with good luck...
I have been given thousands of resistors all nicely packed into labeled drawers!
The problem is I only have a certain amount of storage space and seriously doubt I'll ever use the vast majority of them.
I have some sub-1 ohm carbons and high wattage wire wound ones but the majority are 1/4W, 1/2W, 2W and 5W carbons - from 1ohm up to 5M!
I know they are over 10 years old maybe older.
Are they worth anything - could I sell them?
Do they have a usable shelf life - should I just bin them?
Is there a sensible approach to this or am I obliged to store them 'just in case' (erk!)
