The stuff may be old but it is worth something.

My path is clear. I have 3 options:

1. Sell off everything.

2. Put together as many complete bikes a possible and store, categorize and catalogue the rest of the stuff with estimations of its worth.

3. Just go out to the shed and get a bike out and go for a ride every time this thought pops into my head.

Which path should I take?
I vote for #3 and #4...just ship all the stuff you are worried about to me
