I don't think anyones dying statement ever contained the words "I wish I had spent more time in the office", so lets go somewhere!
Long ago, my father had a carburator distributorship and he built racing carbs. Dual, triple set-ups and all that, this is right after the War and into the 50's.
What he had the sense to keep was every busted, non-working Stromberg carburator he came across. I mean LOTS of Strombergs... a 10x14 box of Strombergs.... fuel blocks, intakes (finned of course), needles and mains.
Now what are they worth?
Enough to take Margaret and I to Nova Scotia every 2 years.
Enough to fix IT and take us there comfortably next trip.
None of those carbs count the "whole" 97s knocking around in their original boxes, either....
Man, I hate people sometimes....

ahhh, what a beautiful story... sniff...

Since everyone knows how much I believe in "parts," maybe I will...*g*
If Doc Rob'll take double his money, I sure will!
Hey, I had 2 HD SuperGlides at once, I now have 2 pickup trucks, my dad had 2 '34 Ford 3Windows --the Roadster and the Coupe. Why not keep the family heritage of packratting alive and well?
Besides, they'd be so cute, all snuggled together.

Of course not. You bought low and want to sell high.
I bought low enough that I can afford to keep IT.
