1. Lets me get rid of all those parts in the garage I thought would never sell.

2. Allows young dudes to get creative with out destroying a body I will probably buy for twice the price in the future and try to reassemble.

more?
3. Encourage young beginners to try it themselves, even if they haven't developed their skills yet. Since they aren't held to a high standard of workmanship on these, they aren't discouraged before they ever start.

4. Many young builders don't have the better paying trades yet, and the rats are much more affordable, because they don't have start with the higher priced super-desireable components. They can improvise, and use whatever is available.
