This may seem a little random but I wondered if people could identify these leads for me, I have accumulated loads and I havent a clue what they could be for... I'm thinking of putting them on ebay - is it worthwhile the hassle?
Ive put them in photobucket as I dont know how to put them in the thread.
here it is
Thanks - I really appreciate it

In order from left-right and top-bottom, I think they are:-
1) USB-MiniUSB (my printer has the same lead)
2) Dunno
3) Grey - ethernet? white - phone to ethernet black - USB dunno about the other end
4) Charger of some sort - possible Nokia or laptop?
5) See 4
6) TV ariel lead?
7) USB-unknown
8) See 7
9) Dunno
10) "Kettle" lead
11) See 4
12) Serial connector

9 looks like a dvi (new monitor) lead
2 modem phone lead
6 confirm tv male to male
7 bad photo, looks like it might be a USB extension (does 1 end fit into the other?)
value on ebay....less than the postage
I quite fancy another DVI lead, but at £3-4 delivered for new I'm unlikely to bid on yours, nor is anyone else (except the 1 person taking a punt at the .99p bid for them all)
edit -I wish I'd clicked post, rather than taking to my kids for a few minutes

1) USB A to USB B
2) Seems to be RJ45/ethernet/LAN cable
3) Left:RJ11 (phone/old modem), Middle: RJ11 to telephone, Right: USB A to mini USB
4) DC jack power adapter/charger of some sort.
5) Same as 4
6) Coaxial lead (TV Aerial extension or loop though), male to male
7) Hard to tell from unfocussed photo but could be RS232 connector or USB extension depending on size, maybe it's perspective or you have small hands.
8) USB extension male to female.
9) DVI, digital monitor cable (LCD monitor for example).
10) Continental (non-UK) "kettle" power lead.
11) DC jack power lead.
12) Parallel port cable (usually for older printers).
Mostly similar to rmg1's list but a few differences from my perspective."She is quite the oddball. Did you notice how she didn't even get excited when she saw this original ZX-81?"

Mainly agree with rmg but
2) The critical bit is out of focus but looks to be ethernet withanti-snag bootees.
3) RJ11 to RJ11 phone cable, RJ11 to BT phone cables, USB to mini-USB
6) TV aerial
7) USB plug to socket (USB extension)
8) Same as 7)
9) DVI male to Male monitor cable
10) Euro (Nederlands?) mains cable
11) Centronics parallel printer cable
Only the laptop PSUs are worth putting on Ebay if you know the make/model they fit, as you'll get a tenner each prob.0 -

This is a bit like a techie photo quiz. If only there were a prize.

1. USB A to B lead (usually used for a printer)
2. Network cable (for connecting your computer to router etc)
3. Grey is phone handset to body, white is phone to wall socket, black is USB lead for camera or MP3 player probably.
4. Power supply for a laptop, printer or similar.
5. Looks like a Nokia phone charger
6. Tv to wall socket RF lead
7. USB A male to female (USB extension cable)
8. same as 7
9. DVI lead, computer to monitor
10. Mains lead (kettle type)
11. same as 4
12. Printer parralel lead
Thats it all of them pretty worthless I am afraid, I think you would struggle to break even on ebay after paying commision and paypal charges.0 -
