Does anybody resell pick'n'pull parts on the internet/ebay? What's worth it, what isn't?
I sold a shift knob from an FB RX7 once for like $70 on ebay, I was surprised it went for so much.
Also post your junkyard scores
I bought a set of 2007 WRX brakes, 4x 5zigen wheels off same car with 2x good tires, and a downpipe for $700.

It's not worth the hassle with fees and ebay's bullshit.
you will get scammed and loose any profit you may have had.
also final value fees, shipping fees, paypal fees
don't waste your time sell drugs instead

Craigslist or gumtree works.
I got å zf transmission from an e34. The clutch is almost brand New. Fly wheel, driveshaft, and shift surround for under $200. I could probably sell it all for å profit but I'm keeping it for My swap
Bought 4 saab gt17's for 120$, sold for a total of 430$
C5 vette rotors, calipers, shocks made 600$ on all of em.

Yeah, it's pretty hard to turn a decent profit selling on ebay unless the item was free. Nickel and diming a lot of small items is nearly impossible now with the the shipping fees.
>don't like the shipping fees?
>offer free shipping XD
Fuck you ebay, 10% is 10%, no matter how it's calculated.
>be 850 turbo volvofag
>need more boost
>find v70s all over the place in pick apart
>all the airboxes are gone, but all the pierburg TCVs remain
>take only one that I need
>easily a $20 part
>get it for $4
I should have taken them all
>Go to local junkyard for seat rails for my 944
>944's are rare in junkyards here so I'm just looking for 80's vw/audi's
>guy plugs in 944 into computer

>wat.webm
>not listed on site, I'm the first person to ask for it
>find car literally untouched
was my lucky day. I spent $90 total and made that back selling the fuel rail through a forum. All in I made $400 back.
You just need to know what's hard to find on a few popular cars and get there early.
