Some cables you try and just know you would never be happy with over the long haul, so sell those. Others sound pretty good but may not have the attributes you are looking for at the time. It can be beneficial to keep those cables.
When I make changes to my system, I sometimes go back and find cables I previously stopped using that have better synergy with the new changes. Also, when I make system changes or try new cables, I sometimes go back to familiar "good but not a perfect fit" cables to help calibrate what I am hearing with the new gear or new cables I am trying.
Of course, most of my cables are DIY, which makes it easier to forget about selling them since I would never get what they are worth based on SQ. Those choices would be harder with a $2K pair of speaker cables or interconnects, or a $1K power cable.
