I say with any parts not resistors.
If you have any type of THT transistor FET etc or opamp or anything becoming obsolete, not resistors.
You can still stockpile them dont worry, and you could make lots of money does not means you gonna make 100% sure alot of money.

Really?  Two 160k 1/8W resistors end to end in series isn't difficult.

1. Twist the leads between the two closely together over a short distance, solder them together and trim the excess lead length, essentially making one 1/4W resistor.

2.  Insert into PCB and pretend it is one resistor.   ::)

You can simply "tent" the joined resistors up a bit if you've made the part too long to fit directly between existing holes.  Job done. 

Unless you have very limited space above the PCB this is not a problem.  You can even join the two side-by-side, one going up and one going down to the PCB instead of soldering them end to end.  Resistors are often mounted vertically to save space, there is nothing inherently wrong with standing up a resistor, it's not like they know what orientation they're in.   ::)

I like to see that in the picture.

Why not just do it yourself? You could be long finished by now making your two boards.
