I am a hoarder to a certain degree, I have stuff that I like to own but
admittedly may never use, I also will help a fellow AMCer out with parts from
time to time and as situations change I will clean out some of my parts to
make room for new. I am in the process of what I like to call trading up. I
have made room in my driveway and freed up some cash to buy better stuff but I
still hear grumbling about why I don't sell this or that, and the answer is
because I don't want to. I worked hard to find and acquire what I have and I
will let it go when I feel like it. If I die before then, my wife has strict
orders to have an auction to sell it off and make sure it is well advertised
in the AMC community so it all goes to a good home.

to share. It is human nature to share for many reason. You can buy friends by
sharing, or you can be friends by sharing. You can help a fellow out to meet a
common goal, seems to make both feel good about what they are doing. You
can share and promote the big picture of preservation and enjoyment of what
you share. It is human nature to hoard. Hoarding satisfies many needs. Self
satisfaction of owning alot of something that fights off insecurity or
feeds the human nature of having to be superior to others. Being human is
something we don't have a choice in. How we are human we have a
choice.  Crushed or hoarded the same? It may exsist but it is not
available so what good is it? So it's value is only to the hoarded, but to
anyone else it doesn't exsit because it is not available thus no value. Glad
to hear your not a hoarder and selling off some stuff to help our AMC family.

Everything is for sale, if you feel you need to own it make me an offer I
can't refuse. If you feel I want too much then you must not be serious about
owning it. How would you like it if someone walked up to your car (that you
weren't selling in the first place) and made an offer that you felt was too
low and proceded to drag you through the mud when you wouldn't sell it to him?
That is what you are doing to everyone with a collection of parts that aren't
for sale.

hoarder. Yes, this is a free country and I appreciate those who have collected
over the years as have I. There is a line of self serving greed that doesn't
want anybody else to enjoy the parts/cars. They will put ridiculous prices on
stuff or won't sell, but glad to tell you they have it,to feed their own
twisted personality. Whats the difference? hoarded or crushed
none . Waiting for the estate sale only kills the interest and value
of the cars and parts nobody wins. You are right, I don't have a right
to your stuff, you have a right to keep it just for your self. I do have a
right to wonder why? There are many unwritten ideals in the old car
hobby. There is comrodery [can't spell] of enjoying our cars,
building them, driving them, the adventure of finding parts, helping
friends who share the interest, the old car hobby is very much like a family.
Then there is the hoarder ideals, I going to buy it up keep it and

cheap enough for you to make a buck need to get off your high horse and find
your own cars or pay the asking price. If so called hoarders hadn't collected
those parts and cars 90% of it would have been crushed by now because of lack
of interest. A lot of it has been saved since the 70's 80's and early 90's
when they were still plentiful and cheap. We should be thankful these people
have saved the stuff and yes, we may have to wait for the estate sale to buy
it but at least it will be available again. If they hadn't collected the stuff
it would be long gone by now.

sad to see all the crushing going on. Here in MD near me a junlyard crushed
out all but 4 or 5 eagles a complete almost untouched Kamback spirit/Gremlin.
Several cars picked over but a lot of good parts left. Yes many 4 doors but
good parts. you hit the nail on the head no interest. with economy and no
change in site,no money for toys no interest. Interesting thought: If all the
AMC hoarders of cars and parts ,even half, would share/sell at a resonable

wait till we can buy them from their estate. DaleÂÂÂ
