On the other hand, there is an active eBay market for nice hubs, particularly Campagnolo Record hubs, either low or high flange.

I'd use a heavy duty clipper to cut the spokes and spend my time polishing and servicing the hubs to sell.

I don't know who's buying them at those prices, but they seem to have achieved a certain perceived value.
