Big box of various computer cables

I bought my first home computer sometime around 1999. It was one of the very first iMacs. I've had 4 more computers since then, I'm on my second printer, 5 or 6 monitors and god knows how many other random peripheral devices from USB hubs to external hard drives. Most devices come with the cables they need, but I've always kept the cables when getting rid of the devices. Last weekend I installed a couple of wifi repeaters so that our whole home would have better wifi coverage, which required 3 ethernet cables because the devices get their power that way and one has to be plugged into the router via ethernet. It turns out that of all the cables I have in this box I had exactly 3 ethernet cables and I thought to myself "See, Self! It's a good thing you've kept this giant box of cables! They finally came in handy!" But do I really need them? Power cables, USB cables, phone cords, old school monitor cables, coaxial cables. It's probably 30 cables in all. When I bought my most recent computer none of the monitor cables did me any good because my new computer required an HDMI cable to connect to the monitor so I still ended up having to buy yet another cable...) It's literally a 12 bottle wine box jammed completely full to overflowing with cables. At least they're all in one spot...



Should I keep them all, just keep one of each and toss the rest, toss everything, post it on craigslist for someone who believes that you can never have enough cables to take? I just don't know. I'd be curious to hear if others have faced this and how they dealt with it.
