content: If you see something(as in few bits not the whole pile)in the pictures that youcould use for a projectplease let me know.This are the rules.I will take and post pic of stuff I have accumulated and have no interest in selling.I will ship (continental U.S only, first class, paypal verified address) at your expense (paypal only), when time allows. If you need something overnight use digikey.No, I will not make a list or sort things for you, but will try to show what's available (as time allows).No, I will not give you 100 bits of this or 1000 units of that.No, I don't need help ebaying this bits nor told why is a bad idea to do this. Keep the thread for requests only.No, I am not responsible if you build something that causes a black hole, burns your house down or teaches your cat to speak.Parts may work or not, no warranty is implicit, implied or assumed.Will keep this thread until it becomes a chore bigger than throwing the stuff away.Answer to questions:Q: Location?A: You can use 29730 to calculate shipping.Q: Can I get all the parts in pic xyz?A: No, the purpose is to put this parts to work not to move them from my storage to yours.Q: Why you show the bins if I can't see the part numbers or what's in there?A:Overtime I will add more picsthat show the part number or with more detail. Suggestions on how to go about doing this the "easiest" way are welcome.

content: Hi,I would like to apologize for not being more clear, I have received several pms about some of you interested in taking all the components out of my hands at once.The whole idea is if anyone sees something of use, then I would be more than glad to basically give them few components for the cost of shipping and not a cent more.It's aimed to put those parts to work rather than moving them from my storage to yours.So please if you see something you will really use for a project let me know and I will be more than glad to mail it to you.If you are an student or want something for educational use please let me know, I would be more than glad to ship at my expense.I will reword the original post in a bit. Thank you for understanding.

content: Quote from: xyrtek on March 31, 2016, 08:33:16 pmI don't understand how this works by your rules. A bin of jumbled DIPs and a few connectors. The only thing I can identify from the picture are some 7-segment displays, but even on those you can't tell if they are common anode or common cathode.So your offer is to ship a handful of parts from this bin? Or the whole bin? Selected parts, or a random handful? Do you want people to send desired part numbers so you can search them out? I might be able to put the displays to use, might even be able to put a few of the other parts to use, but how would I know? How much effort are you willing to put into sorting?I am not sure I have any interest in participating, but these questions may help clarify what you want to and are willing to do for those who do want to put your parts to use.

content: xyrtek, I was one of them that asked for the "bulk" contents of one of your pictures mainly due to this rule: "No, I will not give you 100 bits of this or 1000 units of that."In any case, I just PM'd you with a very specific P/N. Take a look and see if that was what you had in mind originally.

content: Quote from: neslekkim on April 01, 2016, 09:23:29 pmI love mystery boxes, and buy one periodically from various distributors that offer them. They are a great way to learn about things you didn't know you needed.But as is being clarified, that is not what the OP wants to do.

content: xrtek, I like and respect what you are trying to do. I don't know a way to make it easy for you. Taking pictures that are good enough to read part numbers is tough (as you have already found out and demonstrated with some of your pictures), and tedious.The best way I can think of to accomplish what you want would have a fringe benefit of making these parts more usable for you. That is to create a database of the parts. Would require sorting through all of the parts. Something you probably don't want to do. Or don't have time to do even if you have the desire. Maybe you could crowdsource a project to hire some local teenage technology nerds to do this. You could pay them from the crowdsource, pay them and the crowdsource funders in chips and end up with a usable index for your own use and in distributing these parts as you desire.
