I keep the old standard .1, .15, .18, .22, .27, .33, .39, .47, .51, .56, .68, .75, and .82 on hand in 1/2 watt, 1 watt, 2 watt and 5 watt. All in the flameproof packages! I have an inventory list to know what is on hand and what I need. When I can find them at ham radio hamfests I stock up usually at cheap prices. I mostly need them for amplifier repair but I am also an experimenter and it is just handy to know I have them. I lucked out several times when companies I worked for decided to downsize their inventories (at the suggestion of the six sigma dimwits). One of the places I worked for closed our local shop and moved to North Carolina. They didn't want to pay to move most of the gear and everything marked with a red tag (dispose) went home with me including thousands of pre-sorted resistors. I emptied each drawer and divider one by one into individual plastic 'snack bags'.
