Expired gear

[ybsmall]

I've got a small amount of gear that "expired" June 2003 - Do I dump it or is it still somewhat effective?

Thanks in Advance

As long as its been stored in the proper temperature range and dark area it will still be effective (though it may have lost some potency along the way...) It is not going to be ineffective...

well, it is most likely fine. In the case of prescription pharmaceuticals (at least from US companies), the "real" expiration date is one year from the exp. date on the label.

And, like Term said, it is possible that it may have lost a tiny bit of its "potency"...but not enought that you will notice (if its been kept in the proper conditions-ie. a cool, dark place).
