Are you an auto parts pack rat?


Are you sitting on a mountain of parts? Well ya know, instead of just letting them collect dust or rust away in the garage, with a little bit of research you can actually make some rainy day with your stockpile.. Unless of course your sitting on some vintage NOS stuff that you just have to keep!! I like to buy up any Oldsmobile parts i can get my hands on, cause.. well thats what im into.. but you have to have a keen eye on whats out there and whats worth what.. heres a little secret for you.. I took a $300 Olds 425 which was complete, i had the intentions of rebuilding it and stuffing it in my car.. well.. turns out it had some major issues.. So with the knowledge that i have.. i parted it out, knowing what was worth what.. and i cashed in over $1400 in its parts.. even tho the block was unusable.. i sold everything off it.. The key to selling most parts, is proper advertisement, great pictures, a NICE clean parts. (nobody wants to buy nasty greasy stuff.) they want NICE!! moral or the story is.. a lot of times.. Cars, engines.. so on.. can sometimes be worth more in individual parts that as a complete assembly, ive taken $500 cars and turned around and flipped the parts for Thousands!! but of course your going to need the time and the space...its just a thought.. need help? ask away
