Two things:

First thing: The Smithsonian budget keeps getting slashed dramatically by one of those political parties we hear so much about, and I'll just let you guess which one. The upshot is that they can neither display nor maintain all of what they have and often have to liquidate parts of the collection in order to keep afloat.

The other thing: The real hoarders that the museum-hater should complain about are these guys who have a barn (or more likely a field) full of old cars and parts, none of which they will ever sell, none of which they will ever restore, all of which will eventually rust into dust. But they're mine, they'll say, and so I can do what I want with them, which is evidently to watch them disappear.
