I buy lots of parts I don't need, figuring I'll use them "some day" and then get overwhelmed with the clutter and end up selling stuff off on eBay (most often for more than I paid for it, so it works out). I'm sure a lot of us do that though.
I really should take pics of Retrogression HQ sometimes so you guys can see what we're dealing with. Damn place is a beautiful nightmare.
