Mountains of Cable- What to do with it?

After many years recording 100's of great bands, film scores, etc we finally decided to pull the plug and take the studio apart. The gear and mics will all go easily. no problem, but what to do or how to sell all the Mogami cable with Edak and XLR, 1/4" ends is my quandry. There is a lot of cable and it is all in great condition.

For 30 years I have been using the half wrap (end to end) where you put one end together with the other end, halving the length each time, but less 6" so the ends don't get into the last half. Repeat until the cable bundle is between two and three feet long and tie the whole thing into a simple yet loose knot. Put them all in a road case and done.
