i recently parted out wheels, a short block of unknown condition, some crusty injection components and a side-shift transmission all from one car for a total of $2300. at $3500 for 3, i'm starting to get curious and, it's not that far of a drive for me... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) then again, i'm still far more naive and optimistic than most of you. maybe i'll just snap a bunch more pictures to confirm what all you nay-sayers are trying to tell me.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) Not sure what your parts car cost you but here’s how I see it. $1200 each base cost (rounded) for these 3 parts cars. So now take your $2300 for parts sold - $1200 cost of goods sold $1100 gross Minus - time, gas, wear and tear on my vehicle/trailer to get them out of some field Minus - time to part them out Minus - time, gas, wear and tear to dispose of chassis Minus - warehouse / store parts while trying to sell them Minus - time to deal with any local pick up of large heavy parts Minus - time to pack ship smaller parts and gas to/from shipping parts Minus - taxes - I’m sure you wouldn’t want to stiff The Man on all that profit & income you earned (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) I’m not saying there’s no money there, but it sure depends on how you value your time, space, and personal vehicle operating costs. God bless those that do it as a service to the 914 community - they sure aren’t getting rich doing it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Now if there is a 914/6 chassis in there - that would change the math |
