A question for the collective wisdom of the forum regarding how much parts are worth.
I have amassed a huge pile of parts (mostly used) during various rebuilds and have just been given a huge number of parts from a friends who no longer has land rovers but had kept all the parts he had amassed. I do not have the storage to keep all of it so am ruthlessly going through and sorting into the three keep, sell, throw away piles.
My question is how do you value second hand parts?
Space is the premium so I cannot just store until they sell. And I have parts that I have tried to sell for a fraction of what others are asking on eBay that still haven’t sold. But another part of me hates to throw these things away and someone somewhere should have a use for them.
How do people get rid of parts is it just throw them away, sell as job lots, try and give away? Is there less demand for second hand parts these days as they move more into the classic car category from the keep it running catagory?

Why not drop the used parts in a bin bag for Landrover Concern charity shop when passing.
