Now that I have evolved into an old guy, who has developed a habit of buying old used music gear, I can assure you that your years of hoarding, and defending, your box of cables will not be in vain. I have been digging into my box of old AC adapters, and finding success about half the time. It’s like finding gold!
My stock of old adaptors is running low, but I’m good at scavenging them when stuff is getting tossed out. I always make sure to coil up the cord, and secure it with a twist tie. When I undo a cable, I always keep the twist tie on the cable.

Upgrade to velcro cable ties!
Why? Twist ties come free with every loaf of bread.
Every decade or so, I buy a spool of twist tie cable, with a little cutter on it. It gives me twist-ties of any length I want. It’s super handy.
I gave a spool to my Father-In-Law, and you’d think it was the greatest gift he’d ever received.
They’re helpful for cable management when you do need to use the cable
I wish, mine have been infested with Occlupanids
