You're joking, right?

Garage doors are desirable (highly).  If they start selling them Bulk, they're
STILL desirable.  To BUILD with.

I don't amass certain parts because they are desirable (that would be silly, as
it would cost me way too much money), I amass them because I want to build with
them.

I now have about 120-150 complete garage doors (I'd have to inventory to know
the exact #, but I have verified 120).   If they offered them in Bulk tomorrow,
I'd order 50-200 more right away, depending on price and color selections.

Just ask others about pitchforks - most people that want them want dozens for
layouts.
