I haven't had time to respond to this, but, on a related note...

I bought my car new in 1999, and I still love driving it. Many years ago, say 2003 or so, I bought a resistor to enable to daytime running lights, then I realized I needed other components, and never got around to finishing the job.

A few weeks ago, a guy from the car club asked if I still had it, because he wanted to enable the daytime running lights and that was the last piece he needed, and no one seemed to have one. I looked and looked but couldn't find it anywhere. I think I threw it away a few months ago, figuring I wouldn't ever need it.

Sorry, bud. I had that thing sitting around for two plus decades, only to need it a few weeks after I tossed it.

    I kept my box of Nintendo 3DS LL since I bought it. After about five years I discovered that I could sell it for money. I listed it online asking for about $3.

    Not too long a guy texted me and asked me if I still had it. I said sure, give me your address. I then asked my wife to ship it.

    Wife said she had thrown it out a few days ago.

    Guy said, "No worries, mate. It's alright if you don't have the outer box. It's actually the cardboard paper which holds up the box in shape I need."

    Wife said the box was actually still in the drawer, but since I took the box out and also took out the cardboard paper for examination the other day, she threw out those cardboard paper but kept the box.
