I am talking from a purely business perspective.

The hobby side of things works on a different set of rules. I have a
large bunch of boards with interesting or rare chips that I am saving
for parts scrounging, even with gold edge fingers and things removed.
Sometimes, I will even cut down a board so the interesting or rare
chips are left for removal when needed, but most of the rest has gone
to the shredder.
