One of the bigger things I notice around here is:

Parts hoarders hold onto parts too long. They die and stuff goes to scrap. Good parts are now taken out of possible circulation and the families lose out on what could've been a higher dollar amount to pass on.

Sadly, I've seen this happen a few times over the last five years. Two times it happened to excellent parts collections.

Another thing is some folks don't take care of stuff. Recently I've gone to a place that could've been one of the best spots I've ever been to parts-wise but the man kept everything on the ground. Some stuff sat so long it was embedded into the dirt. Among these parts were a few dozen top irons that were likely incredibly good before he put them at the base of a bush.
