I sold a few parts this weekend . I let go of some doors that had a lot of repairs but looked good . They may end up on a hot rod but at least they have a new life and did not end up scrap metal . It's hard for me to let go of parts even the ones I'll never use . But I need funds to buy more parts lol .
 
Hi Dennis,

Terrific!

Every Model A Parts Catalog should include your above message, (as a quote from Dennis) on their front page. LOL
 
I too have this affliction! Have come to realize I was a horder as a kid, going thru my mothers house I have come home with 6 van loads of stuff I have had since about 5, but the bulk of this is automotive related, with emphasis on model A stuff. Still have pickup load to go, like Dennis and others I occasionally let something go, but not too often.
 
JTW-those who keep "inventory" nowadays, quickly go out of business.

Need to "drop ship".....
 
I think a lot of model A people have more than one model A and of course have lots of parts - usable and not so much. I don't know if it is a clinically defined affliction or not.

Dennis, I am glad you are posting again.

Think I knew that guy (vinyl hoarder) years ago in SoCal. He was a DJ for a local rock station and his house was full of "played one time records", just like that, floor to ceiling. What an awesome 401K to cash in for a few (dozen) Model As. Just sayin'
 
Some label us, "HORRIBLE HOARDERS" when we have rare parts that we won't sell, 'cuz they know they can re-sell them fur a FAT PROFIT!!! I love to give away parts, when I know the receipient is using it on his own jalopy. My "REWARDS" for giving, come back to me in the oddest, most unusual ways, at times!! Bill W.
 
I'm like Bill, just the smile on the new Model Aer's face, makes my day when I tell him he can have it, if gets it going.
 
Anyone that wants a stack of LP records for the cost of shipping send me a PM. Bob

CURE FOR MODEL A FORD HOARDERS FOUND! According to a recent article in the New York Daily News (see “Hoarding to Receive New Clinical Definition by the Psychiatric Association ‘Bible’ “ by Christine Roberts, 12/9/12) the new 5th revision to the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (“DSM-5”) will redefine “hoarding” and separate it from OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder).

It is estimated that some 4 to 15 million people in the US are hoarders, many of them Model A owners. Now, with the new definition that went into effect in May of 2013 with the publication of DSM-5, a Hoarding Disorder is defined as “persistent difficulty discarding or parting with possessions, regardless of their actual value.”

Sound familiar?

Herewith the cure: give away at least one Model A part.

To help others who may suffer from Model A-related Hoarding Disorder, I will provide a list of needed Model A parts, along with the address to which they can be shipped (…er, “discarded”). Sorry, no COD discards.

Btw, DSM-5 has also re-titled OCD. It is now “CDO” – the symptoms are the same but the letters are in the proper order…
 
I will inquire if medical coverage will cover the cost of treatment. (NOT for me, but in case I find a suffering HOARDER) Bill W.
 
I've now got 3 80 year old refrigerators. I don't think I can convenience anyone that I'm not a hoarder.
