Getting some Travers Boost Prongs (EVO I'll have you know) and the only reason to go for the 3 bolt versions is to try and get em holding their value. I'll most likely not be attaching anything to the fork legs...

Buying something I don't want (or with features I don't need) to please a potential future owner wouldn't even cross my mind

That.

See also; long steerers, hoses and cables. Just cut them to size, sod this "easier to sell" nonsense.

What do you have to lose by having them? They provide an option you wouldn't otherwise have ... what's not to like?

I leave steerers and hoses a bit long as I have a habit of moving stuff from bike to bike
