I feel you on electronic cables and boxes of appliances you no longer own.  I don't know why I can't throw away boxes.  I feel like I might just need them someday.

We actually just have a plastic bin where we put all cords.  Sometimes, it's amazing what we can find in there.

we did re-box all the appliances that we have boxes for.  as for the cords -- i think we can let the cords for the vcr go.

and we have TWELVE earbuds/earphones/ocular listening devices, gathered from cell phones, blackberries, ipods, and probably a walkman/discman somewhere.  and i know one of them came attached to a bottle of shampoo.

We had miles of speaker wire. Seriously, like miles of it.

The worst part of moving and finding this stuff...DH is a packrat. I'm bagging it up to throw it out and he's whining worse than a crazy cat lady on Hoarders about how he'll NEED all of this one day.

Clearing out the guest room and reorganzing the office I found a dozen shoe boxes, gift boxes and tissue from the wedding, an extra iron and toaster we never exchanged.

lol.  Sounds like us.  I'm so sad we're never going to move again, becasue we'll end up with all of that x20 in our basement.
