Yep, plenty of people put up broken stuff on sale knowing others can use it for spare parts - unlikely you'll find someone just selling the shell unless it's pretty dinged up because he replaced his own bad shell with a better one.

Any IBM thinkpad below the 380 is going to be rare and hard to find parts for.

Internal parts there are quite a few off on eBay, but as I expected, no shells. I did find a full ThinkPad up for sale:

And again as expected, it has flaws.
