I hoard opportunistically. For example, I have a gold colored Sable wagon. I never see any others like it around here. One day at the scrapyard, there one was and I could get whatever I wanted off it for $50 excluding the doors. Yah, do you think I grabbed the rear hatch in with all the other misc little doo-dads I was originally after, thinking about modding the worst hatch of the two for... maybe... a tail? You bet I did!
What if I hacked up the only hatch I had, then decided the mod sucked or, since that car really is bigger than I need, decide to sell it then need to scramble to find an unmodded hatch... in the right color so it's a bolt-on... in a short time frame? First, I likely wouldn't even find one locally. Second, I'd pay the going rate, if not a premium.
