Parting out

This goes back to a conversation of a couple of weeks ago concerning selling stuff as parts or whole or whatever. Currently on eBay there is a seller that is parting out an Apple Lisa that was fully functional up until a few days ago and the seller now has disassembled it and has the individual parts listed for sale. Granted, it's the seller's property and theirs to do with as they please, but I don't see the reasoning behind parting out a fully functional system. In the past, the only things I've parted out like that, whether with cars or computers, are items that hold little value due to being nonfunctional or otherwise damaged.
