You would be amazed at the amount of spares that are collecting dust in closets and back rooms. Companies like to hoard things like this so they can count them as assets, especially if the hardware is old enough for the parts to be valuable again. When my wife was an insurance appraiser, she would often arrive at a company property and find rooms upon rooms of ancient hardware just sitting there for these reasons.
