I dig into my (organized) box of cables 2-3x a year. I still have functional older equipment that still sees occasional use.
Pro tip: go through the box and get rid of the duplicates of older items. No need to have 3 IDE ribbon cables, 4 SATA to 4-pin power adapters, or two parallel port cables.
+1 I only keep multiples of commonly used cables and I use ziplock bags to keep cables of the same type together in my cable box so it’s easy to tell if I’ve accumulated too many.
