I have several boxes of these that I'll never let go, but I have to admit, I ditched the SCSI cables at one point and have no regrets.
Until a few years ago my workplace still had dozens of BNC networking cards, ISDN routers (bought on the cheap a few months before ADSL took off), and Windows 98 SE licenses.
USB ate SCSI in a similar way to HDMI eating DVI so that one makes total sense.
Not throwing out DVI or even VGA cables. I run in to/test older gear way too often to let them go.
Buying things from thrift stores requires tools to make them work with your stuff.
