This is just one of those things some enthusiasts do .

I'm guilty of it and now that I'm old and slowing down, I worry about off loading my bits & bobs so they don't wind u[ in the landfill .

I have given away quite a lot of good used parts over the decades and a few have returned the favor so I think it's a good thing to do if you have the space and if you're able to prevent the parts from owning you instead of the other way 'round .

I'm sure you know that old VW parts are NOT TRASH and will not toss out anything .

I have a battered survivor 1959 Beetle that I was able to replace most of the wrong parts on (including the engine) from my piles of old VW parts set aside since the early 1970's .

A while back I needed the third row seat belts for my 1984 gray market 300TD, I was able to source them affordably from another parts saver who'd scrapped out a rusty 1979 300TD....
