I wouldn't feel bad at all for selling an item I won on YAJ for substantial profit, discontinued or not. If people are aware of what things can be had for there is a good chance they aren't going to buy from me anyway. I like to think its like modifying cars - if you want to learn and spend some time wrenching on your own stuff you're going to save a TON of money compared to the people who can't be bothered and pay a shop to do it.
I'm nowhere near being in BossHogg, Damon or VAs13's league when it comes to rare parts, but I've been building a decent collection. I look at every purchase as an investment that I will almost certainly be able to profit on if/when I were to liquidate or part the car out.
