You can likely sell some of the stuff as long as you don’t care how much you get.

For me ebaying the stuff was a lot of work, hassle and at the time prices were very depressed.

I attempted to get local pickups but nobody local wanted the stuff so I tore a lot of it down and got my $0.50 a pound as board scrap including some newer poor condition CRTs.

It’s up to what you can handle, paying $$$ and recycling is the easiest, selling you might do well if there is some nostalgia folks bidding but packing and dealing with bidders is irritating

Small lightweight items are the easiest to sell, ship and deal with, large items can be an irritation.

I would always sell my stuff untested, as is no returns and show a video of the actual item operating.

On old stuff I rather take a hit on value rather than deal with mad customers and generally I got very good feedback with almost zero return and shipping damage hassle.

Please keep in mind that money is not the only thing to consider. Getting rid of the clutter buys you valuable time as you have less stuff to take care of.
Selling those items is a lot of work as well, so you should not be ashamed of giving some of it away if needed, even if it has some monetary value.
Money can be recovered, time cannot.

Do you have any consignment options available? Usually there is some kind of business available wherever one lives, which will take your stuff and sell it while taking their cut of the money. It's a good way to make sure you get as much as possible for your items (because it is in the consigner's interest to get as much as possible) while minimizing your time investment. If you've really had it, you could tell the consigners all you want is 10% or something like that. I would be surprised if they said no way unless you really own a large pile of junk you couldn't even give away.

I also had mind and collection problems the last years.
First i had to close down my car workshop where i was self employed. Then about a year later i lost my flat (landlords kicked me out because their daughter wanted to live in my flat).
I have a huge collection of retro PC stuff , wich was nicely sorted. I had to rent 2 garages to put all my stuff in the wait time for a new flat.
Its not all awesome retro gear i own, more like a general collection of stuff. Old stuff to keep other stuff alive or use/repair.
Everytime somebody wanted to throw things out i got it and put it in storage.
Finally last month i found a new flat after 6 month of searching (and living at friends and family) where i can move in next month.
That was a hard time for my mind. After closing my business and my landlords kicked me out with no warning i lost faith in humanity.
From having a business with happy customers to basically living on the street.

I had several times when i thought of getting rid of everything. But i put so much heart in my collection that i could not get rid of everything.
My new flat has a nice large attic where i can store everything, and im glad i did not throw out everything.
I dont like wasting stuff that somebody or i may need in the future. I am pretty good with mechanics and electronics and can / have fixed a lot of stuff.
It makes me happy to keep things alive nobody cares for anymore. So my collection is basically medicine for my mind...
I cant even get myself to sell things.

If you want to see your stuff in a nice collection instead of throwing it away let me know.
I can not offer a lot of money, just the feeling your things will get used or will help other things to live longer.

Make a pile of stuff that doesn’t make you happy, and take a pic of it, post it on here and say if you want any of it, take all of it, post your (general) location. That way it makes you happier and helps someone else with their collection 😀

Surprisingly, collecting too much vintage computer equipment is considered a problem and even a mental issue, but collecting too much money, stock, or jewelry is considered almost the greatest achievement. 🙄

And if talking seriously, I think it's all about balance between your vital needs and your hobbies.

When I pile up a lot of stuff I have no interest in and they don't worth enough to test, I just make a list, take some photos, shovel them into a box and put up for auction with the lowest starting price possible. That way I free up space and get some pocket change without wasting too much time and the stuff gets to people who see value in them.
