Reasons to keep old Greensteel weapons?

I've got a bunch of old Greensteel stuff in my character bank and am currently downsizing.

Any reason to keep them? I know they are nice res-clickies, but any reason to keep five things rather than 1 or 2?

Res clicks on a Pos/Pos/Pos item are always useful. I love carrying around a +++ throwing dagger for triggering levers, plinking perched skeleton archers, and the click effect.

Radiance on a high crit range weapon is extremely effective CC and also bonus damage if you have +helpless effects. Only a few other options pre-epic can compete with it, but you need to be able to get at least 15+ on your crit range for it to work reliably enough.

Lightning weapons can be a decent post early game vorpal, as the electric proc will basically kill anything it goes off on until epics. A lot of the popularity of lightning was because devils were the endgame and they have no resistance to electrical.

Otherwise no, most are not great. Most were not great even years ago. Mineral, Lightning, Radiance, Positive and occasionally a Concordant Opposition for turtling were the only really viable crafting flavors. Turtling for spellpoints isn't a thing anymore. Mineral was an artifact from when DR bypass was more needed and more difficult to get. The only other edge case was if you really needed an obscure weapon type that did not have good representation outside of the Shroud - but Barovian weapons took care of that gap.

tl;dr: You can probably free up most of those slots and ditch the somewhat archaic weapons.

I haven’t used mine in ages but that may be to two factors:
1) Khopesh fell out of favor/nerfed by the developers and I haven’t taken the feat since.
2) The site I used to craft Shroud items no longer exists. I would love to make new Displacement Clickies tier 3 (I know tier 2 is all you need but I like the maximum HP’s of tier 3 from 15 to 20). Another Concordance Opposition for EK lives. And an Ooze Weapon for the 🤣🤣🤣 in heroics.

But to answer your question, unless it is displacement or rez you probably will never take it out of your TR stash.

The UMontreal site was so great for doing GS crafting. None of the currently working crafting planners are any good at all. Total garbage.

I use a res clickie short sword also in the offhand in heroics when using a heal scroll because the hamp stacks.

I have a radiance kukri for my assassin; some folks swear by an ooze ranged weapon which might make sense for Inquisitor useage due to it being a universal tree.

I keep my bow and my bracers although the Ravenloft stuff is better. Sad but they stay for sentimental reasons. I only acquire materials occasionally since I don't run them much anymore but again, keep them for sentimental reasons. I added some bank slots instead.
