I feel mostly the same way. The exception is when I buy something with specific intent to customize it. I don't even like taking spare accessories for customs since it'll leave the originals incomplete.

I've got a custom in the works that needs the original MCU antlered Hela head. I've become attached to this even though I've got the upgraded version, so I decided I needed one to keep unmodified. Unfortunately this seems to be the one Hela head nobody is parting with anymore. The only loose one I found was in a lot with other heads I don't want. I asked the seller about just buying the one & they declined. Then the lot was relisted with even more fodder.
