Well, I'm the wrong one to ask - I've been buying old Fire sets from Ebay JUST for
the rolling garage doors.  But I'm building them too - I have a 6382/6389/6571
sitting around the house, as soon as I decide which to keep whole, the rest are
getting gutted into my collection (NO, I won't sell off parts, so forget it - once
my train system is done, I may scale it back and rebuild the sets).

But yeah, it does feel kind of bad to gut a complete old set (especially MISB)
just for one part, but sometimes it has to be done ;-)

OK, this is probably a separate dicussion, but it seems to me a bit of a waste
to split up complete, older sets just for one part...
Any opinions out there?
I've liberally split up sets 3 and 4 years old, and even some 7 years old for
BAYLIT - but I'm often reluctant to do so... I justify this in that I can get
the older parts to a larger group who value them...
