Two ways to think about that mentality. One is I'll hoard everything I can find and never sell anything so that IF I come across something that needs parts I, and I alone, will have the spare parts I need. My island will be full of the fruits of my hoarding, but I will be alone on it. The other way to look at it is if I have a spare part you need and I don't then I sell it to you. Murphy's law dictates that yes I'll need that part minutes after I let it go, but such is life. My island becomes not so full of shiny things, but full of other people and we all benefit. I love that this hobby is full of people who think closer to the latter than the former. Everyone is free to keep and share whatever they feel fit and I'm not advocating antique television socialism, but good for those people that do let (some) precious parts go to others.
