Today's Antiques Roadshow had a vase thingy someone paid $6.99 for, valued today as between 10 and 15 thousand dollars. Guess it is worth your while to visit yard sales!

How many of you are in this same situation. This is a table of various stuff related to the technology in my life. Motorized gimbals, non-motorized, battery chargers, cables, camera (one of 3 I own), various manuals (most of them lost by now since all are easily replaced online). This is not even all of it. I have multiple chargers by my bed to charge phones, ipads, readers, watch, overnite.
So, when am I to consider that I am overwhelmed by technology. When is enough? I don't want to have the most toys when I die, since I don't even want to die!

At some time in the future many of these things will become standardized and/or combined. "Hope springs eternal."
I suggest you consider selling or donating some gear.

I have 2 olympus OM-2 Film cameras. Afraid to see the true value of them, so they sit
You might be able to get a value estimate by going to Shop Goodwill.Com and entering the information about the cameras or just enter Olympus and see if any are listed.

I took a picture once with mine.
I can help.....Call me, I can take some of it off your hands...lol
I hear you!!! Not only that, as soon as you get rid of a piece of electronic gear, you remember what it goes to and now you need it so you spend hours googling trying to find a replacement or winding up having to replace the item for want of a “whatever”.
Perfectly good older cameras sell at the online Goodwill store by the pound. I bought a couple for the Case Logic camera bags that came with them!
But a lot of "old" compact and bridge cameras (10 MP and less) are now considered e-waste. Even Powershots with optical finders.
Pretty much the same with old laptops, especially 32 bit models. Time to unload with extreme prejudice.
As the clutter lady book says, look at the object and ask, "Does it bring you joy?"
I also have 3 Nikons, with assorted lenses, flash equipment, RRS tripods, etc. I was a SCUBA diver as well, so along with all of the equipment for cold water diving (drysuit, thermal gear, hoods, gloves, depth gauges, etc) and warm water diving (assorted wetsuits), fins, masks, extended range dive equipment, cave equipment, add to that the additional 50 lbs. of equipment for underwater photography added as well (camera housing. underwater strobes, an underwater tripod that attaches to the housing, arms for extending strobes away from the housing, etc. And then there are the weight restrictions for airline travel, and the extensive security checks in back rooms every time I ventured out of the country with that equipment, that made each journey a true travel adventure as well.
In January, I added one more powerful, lightweight piece of equipment after a trip to the other side of the world and down to the southern hemisphere, (I live in PA here in the US, and traveled through the South Pacific islands to Australia and New Zealand on a 6-week adventure) that makes most all of this equipment null and void. I became 'battery-powered' when a stopwatch size piece of equipment was implanted in my chest ( a pacemaker), and that has changed everything. Now I have barrels, suitcases, and backpacks full of equipment that is of little or no use to me. Now comes the decisions with 'what to do with all this stuff'
Should you decide to sell the gimbal stabilizer(s), PLS let me know....
I recently purchased a Sony A7iii and will be using it to shoot video.....
The stabilizer is a necessity....holding the camera free hand just is not working for me...

Sorry, I am not selling anything. But the stabilizer does a really fantastic video job. I use it with a Tamron 28-75 lens on the A7III.
Been there before, I now have a camera and 3 lens. And I am a happy bunny and Love my photography, I am a hunter style photographer, I creep crawl and climb wherever possible to shoot my prey..So a limited amount of gear is essential.. Hope You make the right decision..
