Most likely, what you are seeing, is people selling off their stock parts once they get their upgrades. I keep my parts because I'm a packrat and have room to keep them.

I chalk it up to cycle buyers. Some of these people have had their 8's for about 4 years now, vehicles are getting paid off, leases are ending, and people are moving on. Happens pretty regularly with most cars.

I have been noticing this, got me scare at first since I just bought my 8, but I don't care. It has been fun so far!

There are also companies that buy wrecked cars and pose as individuals in order to part out a car (But don't want to bacome a vendor). Those are the ones who have little to no post count parting an 8.
