Chuck even says in his book that  he will buy any Hallicrafters he get
a chance to regardless if he already has  several of those models. He
uses the extra radios as a source of spare parts  for future
restoration projects.  I would guess by now he must have a  warehouse
full of spare parts radios.

If  not for so-called hoarding, we never would have had the archival
joy  of
Chuck Dachis' collection... or perhaps even this reflector,  itself.
Speaking of that - I do have a "Spare" SX-62A, if  somebody's
interested.
It's in Denver, and I have no box for it - hard  enough to find one for
an
SX-71 that's been promised to RivPapa for some  time.

The most recent instance I have heard of hoarding, is not radio related,  but 
automobile related.
I have heard of a guy who recent passed away. On his property were 46, 18  
wheeler sized containers of New Old Stock (NOS) auto parts. Seemed the guy  
suffered from OCD and would buy every part he could get his hands on. Been doing  
it for many, many years. No one had a clue what he intended to do with these  
parts, and I guess he didn't either!
 
Ah, human nature, ain't it grand!
