Watch this space (if you're interested). Partisanship and nepotism definitely encouraged on this one...
I'm going to be unloading a boatload of electronic parts and equipment very soon. CHEAP. As in, a $50 steak dinner and you pick up the shipping.
Ideal purchaser, and my strong preference: An EE or similar student.
I'll inventory it all this weekend. It's mostly 8051-derivatives development parts (of all sorts). Capacitors, resistors, passives, and all in decent quantities. Mostly thru-hole. It's not full sets of every value part, but basically development and some production inventory for a specific product we no longer manufacturer.
In all, about 8 (60-drawer) plastic storage bins - stuffed. Like these on WalMart's site:
One cabinet is loaded with just about every stainless steel small screw size known to man. (Probably $500 just in hardware?)
I need the space. Plain and simple. For shipping, I'll use the roll-bag thermal sealer. Otherwise, delivery would be one hell of a mess!
