Should also mention that the definition of "good stuff" is:  Something you wouldn't take a million dollars for, yet still wouldn't give a hundred for something else just like it.  Okay, maybe a million, perhaps.  wtt
Young guys should hang out with old guys; old guys know stuff.

Any time it's YOUR stuff, it's good stuff. Until you don't want it anymore, then and only then does it become trash or junk.

I used to work for an entrepreneur who didn't allow us to call failures of ideas or production, trash or junk. If he heard us calling something anything a derogatory term he jumped on us, so one of plant managers came up w/ the term "ferndock". Since the owner didn't want to sound like he didn't know every thing (he had an engineering degree,) when he heard us talk about getting rid of 'ferndock",he never questioned us about what it was. We were all country boys from PA & he was from Baltimore so he apparently thought it was a PA thing.

I've got so much stuff that there's no room for other people's stuff to cover it up.
