I have an absolutely ludicrous collection of cables as you can see here, and so far it hasn't failed me for finding something someone has wanted, usually in triplicate. They weigh about forty to fifty pounds, extracting something is genuine work, and I think it is an actual living entity. There are at least ten different transformers, two or three mice, a solitary speaker, antique joystick, phone, etc.
Logitech speakers. They're getting old. I think they might have some buzz to them BUT if someone is seriously interested I will hook them up and test. For a 'parents pc' they would be perfect. Not exactly Klipsch 2.1s, but decent quality. The sub is not going to give you a serious bass kick but it will add some mass.
Flatty speakers. Well, these came with a soso 750 duron from a computer show in 2001, so you can guess the quality level. Surprisingly decent for the little flat drivers, but the main sub leaves some to be desired. Uses RCA cables for the satellites, surprisingly. Overall, decent. Since I got them out to take pictures, they seem to have gotten dirty. I hate them even more now.
NO PICTURE
Another, more cheap pair of PC speakers. I really don't like these speakers and neither should you. You may have them included in your order free of charge. First come, first served. UPDATE: They broke. I threw them away.
Compaq speakers. They power off the USB port. It was frustrating when I tried to use them on a PC that didn't have any USB ports.
Car speakers. I really don't know WTF is up with these. I hate these speakers, because I feel like their manufacturer knows something I dont!
Car speakers part deux. Came with a car cd player.
(not pictured because I couldn't find it)
It's a 2000 era digital camera, the battery flap is broken. Otherwise works but WHY?!.
Left to right: USB Logitech mouse, never used. It is so very, very nice. Motorola cellphone charger. (cell itself was stolen out of my car) Radioshack microcassete voice recorder. Cordless phone. I'm pretty sure the base unit to that phone is around somewhere.
Genuine Trek bike seat, stock. Replaced on my own Trek with an Oasis gel. In mint condition aside from a scrape-ding which I am showing you because of my George-Washington level honesty.
A little tasco scope. I think it cost me around twenty dollars. Air pistol, air rifle, .22, that sort of thing.
Happauge winTV USB. You can find the software online for this. Use in conjunction with the VCR to play videos on your PC. The possibilities are endless as you transcribe your old VHS naughty videos into modern MPEG compression! Or, watch the evening news while browsing blogs.
An electrical box for Vermont Electric. I'm not really sure if I'm supposed to have this, but it has a neat little spring catch and is padlockable.
Green inflateable chair. I liked it a lot. Haven't had it inflated for around three years because of cats and their tendency to dig their claws into things. Is most likely still in perfect condition.
Video game doctor. Hasn't repaired any of my disks, maybe I needed to work harder at it. Buffing cloth and special liquid formula (water) not included. Salesgirl at EBworld lied to me, said that manufacturer would replace any game or software free if their device messed the disk up. Liar. This opened my eyes to idiots behind the counters at an early age and ever since I have distrusted them all.
Ink. Brother ink. Do you have a Brother photocopier and spend a fortune on it? You can save some money on their name brand ink- it's your lucky day!
USB Child's Toy Microscope. It does, in fact, work. I guess a kid could have fun with it, or look at bugs. You don't get the whole kit, just the microscope. You won't be missing much, it works on USB, and it's kind of fun too. Drivers and software MIGHT be a problem if I can't find them online and the disk doesn't turn up, but considering how most companies are now, the software is downloadable.
(not shown)
VCR. It works. Now you too can enjoy the earliest form of pirated television broadcasts, in their grainy, half quality VHS quality.
DVD player. It works, except for the fact that the disk tray will not extend from the unit. My uncle went over it with a circuit tester, although I forget the verdict. Solve the mystery, and a lovely DVD player may be yours. Or, use it in combination with a pair of anklecuffs for a safe and effective toddler detention device.
A small RCA sa-155 stereo amplifier. Doesn't it look lovely? It can be yours!
(not shown)
Keyboards. I tried and tried to think of something witty to say along with this. I'm sorry. So very sorry.
Mini Shark Vacuum. I am almost positive that they hock these on infomercials. A miniature vacuum cleaner that works great on computer parts but fails miserably at actually cleaning floors. I am including the floor-sweeper attachment out of amusement, also you should be able to connect up regular attachments to the round attachment used for connecting to the sweeper head part.
Xerox Copier. This works. Don't expect super quality and you'll be happy. In great shape except for plastic discoloration on some parts. Only problem is that the toner cartridge will need cleaning from time to time, or before-due-time replacement, lowering the quality until you SPRING INTO ACTION.
Netgear WG311 wireless G PCI card, with disk. I plan on using this but it can be yours.
Pair of GE handheld CB radios with weatherband and surprisingly long-extending antennas (both work, waterproof stripping came out). Each runs on eight AA batteries or a 12volt car power supply, and can have a larger antenna (!) attached. I will include an extra magnetic base antenna.
(not shown but partly visible in the cable shot)
A Logitech Scanman 256 grayscale handheld scanner. Not really useful, but nifty.
Now, here's the fun part. Who wants to lay bets as to how much each one will fetch on ebay? Assuming someone here doesn't want to take advantage of something for almost nothing, of course.

I've got a pair of Cornwalls the bro bought in the mid-seventies - handmade crossovers that
look like your cable box, 60 pounds of marine-grade plywood. Can't sell 'em, can't burn 'em.
