The 32/40 drilling is often quite useful - many older rim pairs came packaged in this combination, sometimes bundled together. Seems like it was very common in the UK - and many came to the US like that.
So if someone has a pair of rims of that drilling, then they are quite helpful.
And I've noticed that high flange hub prices are all over the place lately - you have to work to sell a wheel pair with high flange hubs for $70 at a swap meet, but then the hub pair alone may fetch $300 on a weird day on ebay.
