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.
