I've got 8 garages full of "stuff", and I need to get rid of at least half of it. The price of light iron has halved at the scrap yards, but I really need to catch the better weather to dispose of stuff. I'm tempted to advertise dome of the collectable on the boards here, but do people really want old British coins or ration books? Is the collectable section most useful for selling crypto related objects?

I am interested. The old british coins sound interesting. Also in any other stuff you may have
You can also post your stuff on ebay. Just take a picture of everything

Anything 90% or more silver you got lying around? I'd be interested in buying some junk silver/gold. I have a furnace so plan it to smelt it into a bar or something similar

I've got a load of old 3 pence pieces - I think they are 98% silver. I'm going to hang onto them, as I believe silver is seriously undervalued at the moment. The metals I am keeping are -
Gold - it's a traditiinal store of value Silver - another traditional store of value Copper - the price is down at the moment, but I'm hoping it will recover next year. Lead - another one for recovery. I'm keeping this because of the volume/weight ratio.
I might keep a couple of old motor cycles, but much of my agricultural collection can go - so who wants an old Allen scythe? I got several sacks of old mother boards, hard drives and other computer bits. I was going to write an article about hunting through old drive for Bitcoin wallets, so maybe I should do that. I was also going to use the neodymium magnets frm the hard drives to make a magnetic fishing raft, but that doesn't find gold and silver coins of course.

Those Allen scythes were vicious-looking beasts but effective. I decimated some scrubland that was just taking over in half an afternoon after all. Since, I've seen them as restored collectors' pieces, but maybe here is not the ideal venue to get rid.

Keep in mind that there is an opportunity cost to hoarding scrap. You are effectively investing in scrap, and a better alternative might be to sell it now at the current price and invest the money elsewhere.

Most of the stuff I've accumulated, I have obtained at low or no cost. I understand you point though, as the acquisition cost isn't really relevant once you own it. I was talking about scrap prices with a friend, and she said that she had some lead and copper I could have. I picked up a small pile of lead, but the copper is buried in her garage. The opportunity cost is not so much the cash, as I want to diversify my disposable assets, but the loss of storage space, and that is why I want to get rid of the less "efficient" metals such as aluminium and light iron.
