Lots of Dealers and Collectors are practical.  They improve and upgrade their collection and cull their lesser examples by sale or trade.  This is a boon to other collectors.  I begrudge no one making a reasonable profit using their knowledge and power of observation.  It is not that easy, nor is it cheap, to find a lot of Krag accessories.  I hope every Krag enthusiast has lots of days where they find a sought after item at a great price.  Reproductions and reprints are made because there is a demand that can't be met (or within the means of many collectors).  I started this thread (topic) because many newer Krag Collectors may not be aware of some of the items that complement their Krag(s) and add to the Story.
