This makes 200 000 of us :-)

Dude!! Me also a crazy guy like you.😂.all on sudden, I found your channel. Subscribed,only for this crazy addiction to electrical kits.

You can salvage tons of components from many industrial/commercial electronic devices, defective or thrown away. Good for the environment, good for your addiction, good for your pocket.

Do i sell those?

Where polimer capacitors? 😅

It'll come in handy, even if you don't use it.😙

When I buy from Aliexpress, I have to buy at least 10 of everything. What's the point of ordering just 1? I'm addicted too! lol

I thought I was bad.

nice video, my collection is growing year after year, i always by a kit of component, didnt this hobby would be fun to do

6:41 Don't hoard the RIFA!

I just opened this video is because I also have this same problem. Before Watching this I was in denial.

Instant subscription

same problem with me

Nice, I am trying to feed my pico with a 3700mAh module I saw in Amazon, seems rechargeable through the same plug to AC and in case of power outage the pico can keep running for a day. Not sure if I need to get a LiPo 6v 4.5Ah but seems that I need a special charger for those. My dad got blind so I will be creating a smart home.

Anyone else experienced regret about purging their junk board collection. 🤔 realizing the part you badly needed was on one you got rid of 2 weeks ago... 😂

I managed to pickup four or five of the sensor kits. Where can I buy these parts kits reliably? I just found-out the XR2206 function generator kits have bum steer ICs. Thanks!

I'm damn poor lol

Wow you are lucky. I wish I collection those like your

Nothing wrong with being a hoarder ,as long as ur a builder.😀

You got a I.C. socket in your connector drawer! That would drive me bats.

I like how calmly you explained this. I got one of these as a gift from my technical school for passing the A+ exam and I am so excited to set it up !! I have the starter MAX kit, wondering what the differences are. Good video!

All my robots are using MOVI for both direction talking. Movi is amazing! Great video btw!! 😁👍

Your mad !!!! A production facility wouldn't have that much hardware in stock ! But if that's what floats your boat then carry on !!! Magic .

Welcome to the club

If you are going to be in the game for a while then why not! I am sure that many have started a design thinking they have what they need to see it through only to find a slight mod is needed for completion with no part substitute on hand. Best of all, these kits are way cheaper than they used to be.

I have this addiction too. Its a terrible affliction. I need help but nobody understands me. I can fix just about anything though :)

I'm with ya Brother.

Gives a whole new meaning to "needing a fix". 🔈🎛📻🔌🔍💡🪛🔨🔬🔧🔩 🤣😂😉

We are ALL JFET Junkies!! 😵‍💫🤖🦾🦿⚡📻🎛🔋🔌 🤣😂😆😃

same. me: "ohh, that looks like a handy assortment to have on hand for when i need them." also me: never uses any of them.

The book of surface- mount compoments is a really great idea. Thank you!

I buy the assortment, use all of only one part, then buy bulk that part. Fun fact, im a hobby guy thats never actually used all of one part. But i do have a shiz-ton of really nice organizers filled with neatly seporated components.

you never know what you need tomorrow...

Hi, I’m Israel, and I have a tool addiction…I’m two weeks sober

I started back in the Electronics Goldmine days :)

0:53 WE'RE ALL MATES HERE MATE Look on the bright side.... YOU SINGLEHANDEDLY KEEP , EBAY, FACEBOOK MARKETPLACE, RS COMPONENTS AND DIGIKEY IN BUSINESS so that they can feed their families and have a good life LMFAO

MATE.... THE FIRST STEP IS ADMITTING THAT YOU HAVE AN ELECTRONICS ADDICTION Step 2 is Accepting that you're a bad guy.... but that doesn't mean you are A BAD GUY Now let's finish up with the Electronics bad guy affirmation I AM BAD AND THAT'S GOD I AM NOT GOOD AND THAT'S NOT BAD THERE'S NO ONE I'D RATHER BE... THAN ME LOL

this is like my desk. boxes and boxes of the buggers, inductors, film caps, ceramic caps, electrolytic caps, bjt, 'fets, wire shrink tubing, potentiometer, zener diodes, schitky diodes, rectifying diodes, 47 IC, 74 IC, LEDs, and some of them again for SMD bits. all bought from amazon and ebay in the last year, since i decided to learn how electronics worked. i have found these kits invaluable. with these kits, bigclive, and electroboom, and a 'scope and function gen, and a couple of bench supplies, i have gone from not knowing what ac and dc meant, a year ago, to building laser drivers, inverters, and model rocket avionics.

I bought a box resisters from a school auction. 168 thousand over 6000 values from 2 watts down to 1/4 watt. All downhill from there.

Also there are some rules which I have discovered apply when you have this complaint. Firstly there are some kits bought without reading the description properly which you later discover are so specialised that you will realistically never actually use any of them. Secondly you find that some of the kits, particularly of semiconductors, only supply components which are rarely used and the most useful varieties are not included therefore you are not likely to use any of the ones supplied. And finally there are some kits which are genuinely useful, such as the heat shrink ones, but after several. years you find that you have completely used up the three useful sizes whilst the other 9 sizes are completely untouched. I am happy to say that I am now over this obsession and I now have the patience to only order what I actually need and just order a few more than I want each time so my collection of potentially useful stuff slowly increases. This has the side effect of focusing me on actually getting repairs and projects completed! Hope this helps!

Dear sir, you are completely mad. I understand this because I'm the same and did exactly the same thing when I retired and decided to get back into my teenage hobby of electronics.....but its a pretty cheap obsession...Sadly I do the same thing with power and hand tools and I literally have thousands of GB pounds worth of these things now 😐

Buying more than you need is abnormal, it's ok if you're an inventor?in order to invent you must read some books,Theory with principles.

They say getting into Eurorack synth modules is dangerous, and they're right and I have bags of parts in case I see a module I want to build so I feel for the parts addiction.

amazing you've inspired me

Im disappointed , so you don't have the relay kit , 7-segment display kit , 555 timer kit , motor assortment kit , the blaster2000 kit , the plutonium isolator kit , the magnet levitator kit , the hoverboard kit ......

Hi man, waiting for a new videos! Hope u r doing well)

Omg omg I have a whole closet of that stuff, boxes of parts, Arduinos, cars with remote sensors, silicone work mat, soldering station, every ADABOX, still virgin, all just waiting until I have time, just in case I need to fix something. Ohhhh, I need help.

Oh man. I could do the exact same video. It is uplifting to know that I am not alone, and I will go direct to Amazon order those diodes and Zeners I am convinced I will need one day :)

Far cheaper and takes up less space than an old car collection.

i feel guilty, not about the the buying but my disorganised mess... you are very organised!
