I threw a A1200 motherboard that went dead after years of usage. But bought 2 other ones. That was 20 years ago and I still have the 2 "new" motherboards, one is currently running my A1200/060.
Not me, but a few years ago my mother cleaned up her garage and threw away a 1084S monitor (no biggie) but also a Microvitec multisync monitor without asking me first.
okay they're CRTs and we have scandoublers and cool LCDs but still... that hurt.
also found a Amstrad CPC6128 in the street just next door. But didn't pick it up! next day it was gone. I suppose that someone was smarter and picked it up. Regretted not picking it up myself (even if I'm not into Amstrad)...
