This is a question Hoarding

Willenium says: I had to bring some floppy disks into work which I had been saving for 10 years "in case I might need them". Tell us when your hoarding skills have come in useful (or not, as the case may be)

A/V and data cables and adaptors.
I have a whole drawer full. HDMI to DisplayPort? Can do. Female stereo 3.5mm to RCA? Multiple.

Sometimes I'll be connecting something in an unusual way and think "hmm, I suppose I could add an adaptor to a basic lead" and rummaging through years of collecting yields a purpose-made cable by surprise.

So satisfying never having to pay for a gouge-priced cable upon purchase of a new device.

My bag of "might be useful, someday" cables
is always in danger of getting thrown out, but always manages to prove its worth.

You can never have too many cables.
