You must have never been hit with an acute attack of the "I need a Nokia N95 to fax cable to get something done" syndrome. 2 years is a while, but some things have a usage frequency much longer than once every 2 years.

I keep stuff in my storate unit largely because it's a cheap way to declutter my owned flat. A lot of my hobby retro tech is something I'll end up repurchasing at some later point anyway (except in worse condition and for far more than I would want to spend on it), so that's another argument.
