over the years I've collected many different things, which have now become very effective dust gatherers... these are all varying ages, from various sources, for various reasons, none of which mean much of anything to me any more. none of these items have any sort of warranty left, and some don't work quite "as designed" anymore, but I will add contextual notes for that below where applicable.
NOTE: I did clean everything and get decent photos, which I was intending to do pretty little linked thumbnails and all that.. but imgBB (without a paid account) just makes that way too finicky, so here's a Google Photos album dump with everything: Carbonite PIF - 2023-04-16
...and there is still more stuff around here to sort through, I haven't even got to most of the things my brother left behind in his recent move to the UK. so there will be more potentially useful random crap looking for a home in the "Near Future"(tm).
anyways, one man's trash, and all that..

Taken: @rubber_otter
Item: ZTE 4g Wireless Router (MF286C)
Age: 5-odd years?
Condition: immaculate, it was in use for about 3 years, and in it's box ever since. includes LAN cable and POTS filter.
Packaging: original
Shipping: sure thing
NOTE: I think this was an eBay purchase..? I remember that the default login details on the label take it into a different language though.... there was a different login, which loaded a different UI, which was both "better" overall and actually in English. I'll see if I can find that again.. it is supremely stable though, I never had WiFi or LAN connectivity issues with this the whole time I used it, even kept it running for other reasons after I got a TP-Link W8790 to replace it.
Item: "Pro 5" Apple-style Earpods (CLONES)
Age: 3 or 4 years?
Condition: they charge, they turn on, they connnect, but I haven't really used them much. my neice got them with a pair of shoes she bought in Dubai, but she doesn't want them.
Packaging: original
Shipping: no problem
Item: "VR Box" headset - uses your phone screen
Age: more than 6 years..
Condition: like-new, I used them once or twice.. had grand plans for these, but those never happened, and now my plans have changed..
Packaging: none
Shipping: sure, if I can find an appropriate box
Item: Canon LC-E10E Battery Charger - for LP-E10 batteries (1100D, 1200D, 1300D)

Packaging: nope
Shipping: sure, if I can find an appropriate box
NOTE: Orms Direct sell this for the lovely price of R1375... like, WTAF? it's a battery charger FFS...
Item: Generic USB dual-analogue gamepad

Condition: fully functional, but I cannot use it.. it was bought with the intension of trying a "one handed console controller" mod, which never happened.. and probably never will.
Packaging: nada

Item: E-Blue USB numpad - with retractable cable

Packaging: never seen it

donated off-site - it's going back to the case it originally came from..
Item: Corsair Graphite 600T clear side panel
Age: about 7 years?
Condition: like new, but has no screws.. I used the case with the mesh side panel, then (like a real dumbass) I gave the computer away.
Packaging: kinda, but it's flimsy
Shipping: can do, I'll even slap an extra piece of perspex on each side to make extra sure that it stays flat.
Item: HP 30m fibre optic cable
Age: many, many moons... of all colours, sizes, and shapes.
Condition: good as new, tested by the guys who came to install my FTTH connection - but I have no use for it...
Packaging: actually original..
Shipping: can do, but I'll need to think carefully about packaging...
NOTE: HP's own recommended price for this is well over R1000, but this isn't something that most end users will ever need, and a business would purchase things like this from "official suppliers". I've tried to actually sell this for real monies many times already.. just take it away, please.
Item: Kidigi Nexus 7 Wireless Charging Dock (LQ-GNE72)
Age: about 7 years?
Condition: looks new.. can't test it though.
Packaging: original (from my eBay purchase)
Shipping: no problem, it has a sturdy box
NOTE: my Nexus 7 tablet got stolen many years back, this has been sitting in the cupboard ever since. I remember I was also able to charge my phone on this dock at the time, but I can't remember if that was my Nexus 6P or OnePlus.. none of my currently functional devices support wireless charging though, so I have no use for this.

Item: Cooler Master "Mini 210"
Age: 8 or 9 years?
Condition: like new, minimal scratches, all original parts, nothing broken.
Packaging: lol.. nope, that particular box got holes cut in it as a playground for my new kittens (still have the photos too).
Shipping: uh... maybe? it's pretty light and I have a ton of bubble wrap..
Item: Packard Bell "imedia S1710" PC tower - specs unknown
Age: don't be rude...
Condition: nothing looks broken, I haven't tried turning it on.
Packaging: nope
Shipping: probably not, it's pretty hefty for it's size..
NOTE: I cannot remember where this came from or why I still have it.. it's probably more useful as a relic for a museum somewhere. bonus, you get a free Windows Vista Home license! lol. the "MCP73T-AD" motherboard model shows it to be an LGA775 CPU, it still has 2 RAM modules, a HDD, a CD drive, original PSU, all cables, etc.. no idea which parts do and do not work.
Item: Microsoft Wired Keyboard 400
Age: no clue..
Condition: like new really, all letters are still visible, all keys work perfectly..
Packaging: no
Shipping: uh.. maybe? if I can find an appropriate box.
Item: Genius Value Desktop Keyboard KB-125
Age: no idea..
Condition: "good" as new.. but it's a super cheap board. all keys feel a little clunky, but they work perfectly.
Packaging: original, actually..
Shipping: sure thing
Taken: @OnlyBreezy (3 of 3)
Item: Conson CS-400 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo
Age: about 2 or 3 years
Condition: like new. my girlfriend used it briefly, but she already had a better keyboard, so it went back in the box.
Packaging: original
Shipping: yeah sure
NOTE: it has strange feeling flat top square edge key caps.. they're not terrible, but if you tend to touch-type, it is a little difficult to "feel" when your finger tips move from one key to the next.
Item: Seasonic X-650 modular PSU - bag with a few cables
Age: about 7 years
Condition: incomplete, but do read below..
Packaging: original-ish.. you probably don't want the PSU box as well.
Shipping: can do
NOTE: this was for my 600T build, which I ran with a custom made black and white cable kit.. the bag itself is fully intact and in good condition, but it is super dirty (I am cleaning this today), so this is more for the velvety bag that anything else... anyways, life happened and LAN parties were involved, so this bag only has the following generic cables left:
* 1x 8-pin PSU power
* 1x dual plug SATA power
* 1x dual plug Molex power
Pending: @DreadZero
Item: Teeny tiny mini stunt drone (from Wish.com)
Age: about 7 or 8 years?
Condition: mostly functional, but read below..
Packaging: nope..
Shipping: can do, should be able to find packaging.
NOTE: it's 3cm wide.. it flips in any of 4 directions, has 3 different speed settings, takes 20 minutes to charge and you could play for about 5 minutes on a full charge.... until it fell behind the couch and pulled a long hair around the one rotor. I did manage to clean it out, but it doesn't spin as freely as it used to, so the auto-leveling slows down the others too much and it doesn't really fly. if you like tinkering with tiny drones, this one will be well worth an afternoon's effort... I had tons of fun with this one.
NOTE: I did clean everything and get decent photos, which I was intending to do pretty little linked thumbnails and all that.. but imgBB (without a paid account) just makes that way too finicky, so here's a Google Photos album dump with everything: Carbonite PIF - 2023-04-16
