What to do with stock parts that likely won't sell?

After upgrading parts on my 2016 435i GC like the exhaust, intake, brushed metal interior and original silver grill what do I do with the old stock parts? Currently, they are taking up space in my condo. If you know Vancouver at all, condo's aren't known for their lavish amounts of space.

Since these items will not likely sell and I most likely won't return to the car to stock, what to do? I certainly can't bring myself to throw them away and it's also highly unlikely that the upgraded parts will ever cease functioning in the time I will have the vehicle.

I could put them in my office at work but I think someone will probably complain.

Sometimes you can get lucky when someone needs parts to return their vehicle to stock or replace a broken stock part. If you price it right, I'm sure you can get rid of some of those things quickly enough and at least re-coup some of your money.

Yeah, that's actually not a bad idea. Trouble is, while I take the "wait and see" approach, my old lady is freaking out on me to get that stuff out of the house!

I go part by part. if I can sell it, I price is cheap to earn a few bucks. if I don't think I can sell it, I throw it out; I personally don't hold onto things ill never use again
for example, of the things you listed:
exhaust - sell for $150.. $200
intake - sell for $100.. $150
brushed metal interior - throw out
original silver grills - throw out

Tell me about it. She had an issue with the BBQ of all things but not the giant potted plant she had. Unbelievable!

I'll try eBay, I've never used them before, always stuck with Craigslist and it's ilk.

Good luck, my mech told me most of his customer just dump the old part, some will resell it to ICBC certificated body shop.

My stock engine cover is sitting in my office. No complaints yet.

I haven't brought the stock exhaust in though.
