Could you spend 20-30 minutes to kind of sort that big box into various categories? I mean just something as simple as :
1. mix of small axial resistors, small ceramic capacitors, strips of such smd components
2. potentiometers, trimpots
3. small electrolytic capacitors useful for breadboarding and projects
4. transistors, mosfets, diodes, voltage regulators..
4. larger electrolytics that may not be useful for a hobby and are heavy (hv, stuff above 100v rating)
5. smps transformers, relay, connectors/headers, plastic stuff, heatsinks, other crap
Honestly, it wouldn't take much time.
I would be interested in through hole ceramic capacitors (I see there a strip) because these are kind of expensive in small quantity and I wouldn't mind some trimpots and some small capacitors for various circuits, these would be lightweight. But I have no need for smsp transformers and heavy heatsinks or high voltage capacitors
