Herb had been the head parts guy at local JD emporium for about a hundred years when I went in many years ago for a manure spreader bottom chain. Didn't even occur to me to buy a complete chain- was just going to get the links and build it myself.
He said, "We've got a complete chain setup for that model- Bill, run up and get it." It was covered with dust- he wiped off the tag, and said "That'll be $87.xx" (probably a third of what the parts to make it would have cost). One of the other guys said, "Herb, I think there's a price update on that." (Ya think?)
Herb gave him a withering look, blew some more dust off of it, and said, "That thing has been here as long as I have, and it hasn't been exactly flyin' outta here. I better sell it to this lad while I can. He may have the last one of those spreaders in the whole state." The boss overheard this, just shook his head and smiled, and went back in his office.
Was in there many times when someone asked for a part for an old Deere, young parts guy started to look it up, and Herb would reel off the part number, without even looking up from what he was doing. Not many like him left.
