I have 3 containers full of small Campagnolo hardware. NOS hub parts, shifters, brakes and a little bit of everything. I want to sell them but not sure how to list it in the classifieds.

Looks fine as is to me. Maybe a couplethree pics of open bins. Don't need all. Kinda like a mystery package.

Should go quick, I find bulk purchases of smalls like these the smartest thing to do.

Yeah post as is, a few example pics, send interested parties more photos if they request them. Add more photos as time goes by if no takers.

Open one, two, three or four rows at a time and snap a picture. Then repeat by opening the next rows up. The parts bin on the left has 10 rows. Open rows 10, 7, 4 and 1 and take a picture on an angle. Then do rows 9, 6 and 3. Then 8, 5 and 2. Or some other combination that works better.

Or take the draws out and arrange them on a table in an array big enough to get a good view and not so many that the items are too pixelated to be seen and snap a picture.

I like the idea of a "mystery box" with a couple of photos as "teasers".

Finally got everything separated. No one person needs this much stuff.

Yeah, but whoever has this stash can be the person that has the bits someone needs. Heck, I'd probably bid on it once you decide to put it on the market.

I do like that the parts are slightly obfuscated in plastic bags. It's enough to get an idea what's in the there without giving away the exact list.

If there were one of those cheapie Campy spare parts boxes to go along with it...

I now realize this forum needs a drool emoticon.

Those lower parts of the saddle clamp for the Campy seatpost will be very popular. (I could use a pair myself.) Hundreds of them seem to have gotten lost along the way. If you're eager to unload everything at once you might want to talk to Boulder Bicycle. They seem to love all that old NOS Campy stuff.

I recommend creating separate lots that include a little bit of everything. Forget the cases, which only gum up the process.
For instance, nobody wants fifteen shifters or twelve brake shoes. Split those into individual groups to give three or four people similar items.
Pieces that wear - cones, pads, pulleys - will become the most desirable. I recently sold a NIB pair of toe straps identical to yours for about $100 on eBay.

I beg to differ ! I would happily take that whole pile if it was this side of the world

I think I’m going to hold on to these. It would be nice to have the small stuff when needed and if anyone else needed anything.

That's probably a good idea to hang onto them. When I first got into repairing old bikes, I bought a box of small parts at an estate sale for a former bike shop owner for a few dollars. The pieces were all just dumped into the box, so I spent several hours sorting and organizing them into a separate compartments in a plastic fishing tackle box. Those bits and bobs have saved me many times over the years.
