What do you do with your old suitcases?

How could I ever get rid of the ol' bag! I was about to put the high pressure spray-gun over it recently, but the daughters stopped me. I did a quick recount and its done about 1.3 million miles on roughly 560 cargo holds!
Looks great and no problem finding on the baggage carousel
 
I generally repair mine where I can. My current rollaboard which I've had for well over a decade is on its third pair of wheels/bearings

Coming up to 13 yrs with current set (Samsonite Duralite). Replace the wheels ourselves but recently had the zipper repaired and handle replaced on the wheelaboard at a luggage repair place for modest cost.

The medium sized case is becoming a bit worn (slightly bent frame) and I’d throw out if I could get a new like for like replacement. But increasingly difficult to find soft case 2 wheelers which do seem much more robust than hard shelled 4 wheelers.
