Who wants them..a good size roll 3"round approx......u pay shipping!
What am I gonna do with them? Make a necklace??

Post up on an electronics forum! I'd wager someone would jump at the chance to buy these.

Also: find out what their resistance or capacitance value is. Do a Google search on DIY electronics sites for projects that need components of this value. You might have a captive market.

100 k Ohm 1% tolerance resistors...

pm me if ya want them...............basicly free? u pay to ship!
I will take a pic of the whole lot..

They could be resistors, capacitors or inductors. They all share the same axial package and there is no visual standard to tell.

If they are metal film resistors they are worth roughly one cent per. Half that for carbon film. If they are capacitors they are worthless since that style has significant aging problems, has been replaced by newer technology, and is likely old. If they are inductors, they might be worth ten cents per.

Unfortunately unless you can measure the resistance, there's no way to tell. I might be willing to take a gamble on the shipping charges. How many on a roll?

Those are resistors. Useless unless ur building or replace components .
Penny a piece if theres demand for em
If u have capacitors those r fun but hey weren't in the pic

Once I'm done with my avionics class I wanna build a board if I get time

They store energy/voltage. They discharge at Rc time constants
Aka capacitance times resistance equals time constant
So the discharge very quickly if shorted and can unleash lethal amouts of current aka 50 milli amps

Current is only lethal if it runs through your body. Your body's internal resistance will keep you from dying. At the most, you might get burned from touching the wire you short the cap with because it will get hot. You need to bump up the voltage if you want to electrocute yourself with a cap. Or any electical device.

9v batteries are probably capable of a 2A max discharge rate. That's 40 times more than a "lethal amount aka 50 milli amps" of current. Yet kids don't die when they lick them.

im gonna toss them ....if nobody want them?
