Vent: paid $22 for a 'parts lot' on eBay and it saved a customer's Pentax

A customer brought in a Pentax K1000 with a broken film advance and I couldn't find a replacement gear anywhere, so I rolled the dice on a $22 box of random camera guts from a seller in Cleveland. The gear was buried in there, and the camera is back in the customer's hands for $60 total. Now I'm wondering if I should keep buying junk lots for parts or if I just got lucky, so has anyone else had good luck with those grab bags?
