I don't even remember anymore.  Lots of contacts I am sure.  Probably a
few keypads, but not the ones I need for my own use.  Transformers,
sounders, etc etc etc... I don't think I have any complete new panel
packs left anymore.  I had a Freedom 64 on the shelf, but I stole the
keypad out of it.  Just stuff.  There is a stack of P800s and P801s
(used) I haven't pitched yet that were returns on a lease.  Lots of
boxes and rings.  A couple cartons of nailing plates.  Lots of wire.
Stuff.  Modules, relays, stuff.

I'd actually start putting some stuff on Ebay, but Ebay now DEMANDS
direct access to your checking account.  You can nolonger shield
yourself from Ebay malfeasance or ineptitude as a seller by using
PayPal.  I did sell a few things on Ebay right after I shut down.  I
want to sell some things on Ebay for my primary business, but not until
I get around to opening a separate account in a different bank so they
can't screw me to badly.
