Ignoring the flawed poll question, and jumping straight to the comments...
I do always scrap my MOCS for pieces, although it often takes a while. I
think that's one of the major beauties of building with LEGO rather than

Reusing lets you use rare pieces on multiple MOCs, saves the house from
getting too cluttered, and saves the bank balance from getting too low.
If it's particularly outstanding or consists of parts I rarely use (or have
*lots* of) it'll last longer, but in the end all MOCs are just parts for
other MOCs.
