Completing Old Sets

[jxu]

One of my hobbies during the holidays is to go back and find and unite all the pieces of old sets in my house that I misplaced as a messy child. I can't be the only one who does this?

My process is to part out the piece list on Bricklink as a Wanted list, and then buy any remaining pieces. I'm interested to hear any stories of people who have done the same.

Many people put together old sets, typically in a similar way. Some also buy old instructions and boxes.
