coils worth something?

I was wondering if the trailing coils are worth something if you remove them from the coil pack. I am doing a trail coil modification to plug a power FC on my car and as I just need the cover, I wanted to know if I simply throw the coils in the garbage.

Point is, I don't think I'll make any money out of this, but I always feel bad trashing something in working order.

I've reed that before, I am currently doing the conversion. That's why I was wondering if I can do something else than throwing the guts in the garbage (or keeping it on a tablet if you prefer).

Don't trash them... Give them to the nearest rotary enthusiast that will take them.

I always regret selling spare parts. As soon as I sell them, I need them back. It's been working that way for me. :-/

Thanks for the offer, but I'm already too far in the process to step back. I don't know why but I kinda enjoy doing it anyway.

I also regret trashing or discarting spare parts, but if I kept everything, I wouldn't be able to walk in my garage. I already got too many boxes full of thing I keep in case I need them.

I'll see but thanks for the input.

Just post them in the Parts for sale section. I am sure someone will pay for the shipping for them. I had the bad experience of my leading coil pack getting burnt. The Connection part was fine, but the part where the spark plug goes into was unusable. So maybe, someone will take'em.
