Would I be considered one of these evil people? I have collected old radios and stuff since the late 70s. I would go to yard sales,thrift stores and by any old electronics. Over the years I have a workshop full of stuff, 30x52 is the size of my main shop. With that said I plan to retire next year and do repairs at my own pace. I bought this stuff through the years as to help make money when I retire, back years ago I bought old tube cases for less than 5 bucks, buckets full of tubes for a few bucks,etc. So I want to clear some of the stuff out as its so full and I can barely walk through some areas.

A lot of what I have bought is parts, for example I have a lot of old radio chassis and other parts laying around. So I have dozens of old radio frames, no tubes on them,cases missing, all of this the way I found them. I knew they would have value to use for other repairs so I got them. So I have been thinking of setting up a site, put pictures and info of the items and selling parts I don't want. For example I have a late 20s Crosley metal radio case that is not complete. I could sell parts off of what is left to help others out and make a little. Another example is a early 1930s cabinet, I think Majestic that I have. If did not have any guts in. it only the case. I even offered it to a person who wanted it years ago and they have never got it. I had a few old TVs years ago I offered for free for over a year. Long story short the building it was stored in was being torn down for a road project and I had to give them to a scrapper as I had no room for them.

So my question would selling parts off incomplete items too far gone to restore be considered one of these sellers? Another question is what do you do with items you have to get rid of but no one wants them?
