Does previous owner keep install discs for mac os x when selling?

If your asking should YOU keep the disks when selling or giving away your computer, There's really no reason I can think of to keep the disks when selling the computer. For most computers, Mac or Windows, the OEM disks have all the repair and install applications on them for THAT particular computer so using them on another wouldn't work very well if at all. OEM disks (disks that came with the computer new) are made for that specific hardware in that computer, Retail disks have a generic installer with all model computers software that is compatible with that OS and will read the computer that it is copying to to just install the software for that model computer. If your asking if other people keep the install disks when selling then I can't answer that. Some do some don't.
