Electronic Guys Question on ICs Value

[BlueWing]

As I downsize somethings are recycled, some are sold and some are tossed. I don't know where these go. Can anyone tell me if these chips and other circuit board components are worth anything. If there is any value I'd prefer selling to another Pelican as opposed to fleabay or CL.

If no value are they recycled or thrown in the local transfer station electronics bin?

They are all in a divided 36 draw parts bin.

Here are three pics as a sample of what is in there.

Thanks - Terry

Its going to be hard to sell them. From what I see you have ~$15 at the most in "new" components. since they are in the bins without any ESD protection there is no economical way to tell if they are bad or not. I would donate them to a school or recycle them.

7400 series are not as robust as the 5400 series, so not much value. TTL typically are not esd sensitive. Actually, the 2N (transistors and OP amps) stuff probably has more value only due to more applications.

Most of what you have sells in bulk for less than a dollar.

What did you use those delay lines for?
looks like date codes from 1981?

Thanks for the input guys.

I originally had them for repairing security equipment and some custom circuits. Had a guy on my crew who assembled most of the parts and did the builds. My part was customer interface, project management and service coordination. We did CCTV, access control and alarm services. The smart work was by my team.

These are 3 of the 36 draws in the parts bin. Should I do a larger inventory?

I'm just thinking if someone here has a need I'd like t go that route as I have been helped here in Pelican many times in the past. Starting a tire fund to have good rubber to drive the car south in the spring.
