Extra PCBs

[Aggressive_Doughnut]

Hey all, sorry if this has been asked before but I can't find it if it has.  What do you do with your extra PCBs?  I have completed a bunch of projects, and each run of PCBs (including unsuccessful revisions...) was at least quantity ten, so now I have a few hundred extra unused PCBs floating around.  Seems a shame to have to toss them in the garbage.  I guess I could make an art project, but I imagine I would still have many left over.

I try and reuse them. Sometimes the circuits are specific but with a bit of thinking, some jumpers, and pre-soldering stuff can be repurposed.

The ones that are too specific go in the trash

Stage 1: hold onto all these PCB's in case they might be useful
Stage 2: keep one example of each extra for a collection, filling up a shoe box
Stage 3: put them in the trash as soon as you are done verifying the PCB
