Been there, done that with parts taken off relatively rare cars (So also relatively hard to get parts, perhaps "Unusual" would be a better description than rare)
It would be different for astro gear if I was selling (I would just hold on to it) but for the car bits if I don't get interest at a reasonable price or at least interest in the receiver going out of their own way for free stuff instead of expecting me to deliver it then it goes in the skip. It does not take long to end up scrapped now either.
I have had one bloke get very snooty at me when I told him I had sent a now extremely hard to find Datsun cylinder head to scrap metal when he had told me he wanted it. I had not heard from him for nearly ten years before he called me with "I will have that head now thanks" It had been Coke cans for a couple of years.
