I have to admit that I have a few boxes of parts and nick knacks to go through - Many I will use/sell at guitar shows as and when they are back up and running
But you are right when you say you couldn't give them away before - Today and all such parts are sought after by certain players for re-builds and projects - The only thing that stops me wanting to sell some of them, is that a week later you buy such a guitar, that needs that exact item you just sold a few days earlier - sods law
Well, this one will shortly be fitted to a project in the pipeline...

I know it's from a tremolo, but why is it particularly noteworthy?
'70's USA Fender cast vibrato unit (one piece, rather than a separate block).

Mazak, zinc or pot metal.
The devil is in the detail & there are usually reasons they ended up in drawers
However someone would snap that up for their soon-to-be "all original" 70s Stratocaster.

I have a Bartolini 3AV soundhole pickup without the necessary soundhole mount - it's the same size as a Strat pickup, and was last used to get a jazzy 'acoustic' sound out of a Strat-type guitar - and the main cam from a Kahler .
I'm thinking of making a new mount for the Bartolini for my charity-shop Vintage, and we're only about 1,000 parts short of assembling a whole Kahler between us!
"Take these three items, some WD-40, a vise grip, and a roll of duct tape. Any man worth his salt can fix almost any problem with this stuff alone." - Walt Kowalski
"Only two things are infinite - the universe, and human stupidity. And I'm not sure about the universe." - Albert Einstein
And then there are the random things which almost certainly won't:
-A pair of pickups and half the bridge from my first guitar, a horrible Audition electric.
-The trem from a Hohner JT60/ Hollywood, in badly plated gold, which should have been sold with the guitar, but I couldn't find it when I sold it.
-A brand new neck for a Burns Flyte, not lacquered and never fitted to a guitar. It has the worst fret job I've ever seen, a fingerboard stained to look like rosewood (I think it's a one piece maple neck), and aluminium binding. Bought from Music Ground in Doncaster about 30 years ago (I doubt it's a fake, it doesn't have enough value to be worth forging!)
If I had a rummage there are probably a load more items to add to the list.
I have absolutely no idea why I keep all this stuff, other than to clutter the house!
