Telecaster Guitar Forum - View Single Post - Parting out telecasters, is it an evil practice?

I look at it this way:

Say I have a Telecaster than I can sell for $500 as a guitar. And say that if I part it out, I can get a total of $750 for the parts.

So, if I part it out and sell the pieces to six different people who each need a specific part to complete their project or fix their Telecaster, then I have made more money and six other people are happy.

Where's the downside?
