$100k brand new 30-40 years ago, or do you have actually non obsolete components still being sold new? 90% is usually more trouble than its worth, aka garbage. Best bet is to make a shit ton of pictures, upload it all and post on electronic forums, or throw everything on ebay.

You seem to understand what I have. I'm looking to make one simple transaction to get rid of this material. For example I have common value R, C, & L SMD components. But other than a hobbyist, who wants a 1/2 reel of parts that cost $.0033 each?

I am not at all interested in taking the time to market this stuff. Nor do I want to deal with idiots on eBay, nor piece it out. This will be a near giveaway for the person or organization that is EASY TO DEAL WITH.

Post it on eevblog forum https://www.eevblog.com/forum/buysellwanted/ with rough location, size and pictures. Nobody is going to even reply without pictures. If this is mostly reels of components https://www.eevblog.com/forum/manufacture/ is also a good place.

Have you tried Adafruit?

send it to this weirdo. his channel youtube a true punk rock approach to electronics, with a pretty strong bent towards analog synths and making music out with things that shouldn't make music, like teletubby dolls.

The list of stuff is here:

Items with prefix 70C, 70D, 70R, 70CL are passives. ICs have the prefix 76.

Whoa!

We are a small company in the midwest that would love to start a pick and place line! We were even thinking of giving access to other small companies in our area.

All,

We are an electronics manufacturer. We've found no use for these components over the last 5 - 10 years. So don't expect valuable treasures amongst the worthless components. I looked locally (Rhode Island) for maker spaces & the like, but covid seems to have put an end to many of these organizations.

Wow! I wish I could get my hands on this treasure. I've been dreaming about my own stock room since I was 7 y/o. Many wonderful ideas dies every year due to the lack of old electronic parts. If I win this lottery could contact me at [username] at gmail, please

Maybe consider donating all/some to

They function as a nonprofit , and provider a community space for making.

This is along the lines of who I'm looking for. Their electronics presence is small though.

We have been talking about building an educational non profit that teaches engineering skills, this would be a great way to get started

Sounds interesting. Can we purchase some from you? It's a lot of money so maybe you want some return from?

No, I have worthless SMD components. We've sold all of the easily salable items.

I would love to see a reel of raspberry pis- maybe as an extension of the compute module idea. Pick and place your pi!
