I have a G27, thrustmaster F430, and a PS2 era Logitech wheel. The G27 works, the F430 works, but needs some minor work, and the old Logitech wheel never calibrates correctly, so it does safe mode or whatever and is useless.

I have been keeping these in storage. Because now that I'm working on a real racecar, I don't have time or interest for sim racing, and I really need the space for the parts for the e36. Any suggestions on what I should do? I could sell the G27 pretty easily, but what about the other 2 wheels?
 
I offered my old DFGT locally for free to the local iRacers on facebook to help people get started. I don't think there is much money in wheels less than a G27. (personal opinion)
 
I have a collection of boxed old wheels in the attic.

Actually, most of the collection. My DFGT is on permanent loan to a friend.

Idk what to do with the other 2 wheels though.

Sell them "For Parts Not Working" on ebay, as spares or repair. I'm sure there will be several people interested in bidding on them, & they'll end up helping someone out.
 
I think my Logitech Formula Force would do as a toy for, uh, maybe a three year old (pedals optional).
 
I gave my DFP to a friend I've never met for the cost of shipping when I got my G27, he'd been telling me how much he loved his old MS Sidewinder that he couldn't use any more because of the whole Gameport thing and I thought I'd be nice. He still randomly sends me gifts on Steam even, like, two years later always with the message "thanks again for the wheel!". Most recently it was Elite Dangerous: Horizons, before that Formula Truck 2013... I can't remember what else he's sent me. All in all, quite worthwhile for me!
