looking for folks with experience with (or watching others)
selling random reels of surface mount parts. Scrap Exchange
donated some boxes of reels to Splatspace and we cannot possibly
use them for any but the most unlikely of projects. I want to
propose to the board that the parts get sold, with a thank you
payment back to Scrap, but I don't know if this is hair-brained or
likely to be straight forward, or anything in between. I think
Scrap has spent a year or two wishing they could sell them (mile
long necklace, anybody?) They're in cardboard boxes that aren't
charred, so I don't think they've been outside their storage temp
limits <grin>. But of course the humidity has been off the
wall ('cept one reel of caps is in a desiccant bag).

<br>
The material is mostly resistors (mostly 0603), but some caps
(including some big, higher voltage aluminum electrolytics), a few
rectifiers and inductors, resistor networks and maybe other parts.
Many have sources only knowable to those who can interpret the wad
of numbers on the reels, others are obvious like well labeled AVX
caps. I SWAG (silly, wild-ass guess) a million resistors, some
tens of thousands of capacitors, maybe a reel or two of the
others.

What say you, people of vast collective experience?
