I have $100k in old electronic components that I'll donate
I have loads of passives on reels. Digital ICs, image sensors, analog bric-a-brac and more. I can send a list of components to you. I will donate to a worthy cause.
- ratdaddy 5y agoThe list of stuff is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/j142n121ezkgsmw/Copy%20of%20Videology%20inc%20materials%20to%20sell_.xlsx?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/j142n121ezkgsmw/Copy%20of%20Videol... Items with prefix 70C, 70D, 70R, 70CL are passives. ICs have the prefix 76.
- markus_zhang 5y agoSounds interesting. Can we purchase some from you? It's a lot of money so maybe you want some return from?
- ratdaddy 5y ago$1000 takes it all. I can send a list.
- syedkarim 5y agoWhat's the best way to receive that list? My email address in my profile.
- ratdaddy 5y agoI just posted the list.
- Nextgrid 5y agoMaybe get in touch with Ken Shirriff: http://www.righto.com/p/about-ken-shirriff.html http://www.righto.com/p/about-ken-shirriff.html (kens on HN)?
- kens 5y agoThis sounds like the last thing I need :)
- MrEngineer13 5y agoWe are building a engineering education programs, this would be a great way to start
- ratdaddy 5y agoIf you are an actual non-profit, I'll send it all to you.
- pcdoodle 5y agoWhoa! 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.
- testmasterflex 5y agoAny raspberry Pi’s? :-)
- intpx 5y agohttps://this-museum-is-not-obsolete.com/ https://this-museum-is-not-obsolete.com/ 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.
- MrEngineer13 5y agoWe have been talking about building an educational non profit that teaches engineering skills, this would be a great way to get started
- leralom 5y agoWow! 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
- yial 5y agoMaybe consider donating all/some to https://therivet.org/ https://therivet.org/ They function as a nonprofit , and provider a community space for making.
- ratdaddy 5y agoThis is along the lines of who I'm looking for. Their electronics presence is small though.
- rasz 5y ago"EEVblog - World's Biggest Collection Of Electronics Components" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8nbHYOc8ns https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8nbHYOc8ns Got any cough feet? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzIToosMRVc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzIToosMRVc $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.
- ratdaddy 5y agoYou 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.
- rasz 5y agoPost it on eevblog forum https://www.eevblog.com/forum/buysellwanted/ 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/ https://www.eevblog.com/forum/manufacture/ is also a good place. >Rhode Island Have you tried Adafruit?
- ratdaddy 5y agoAll, 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.
