my local junk yard charges $60+ for a single headlight when aftermarket is $60 for a brand new pair

[GnoneckOG]

Lol so this is why every item listed has been a part stolen from a car I've owned. Thank you for clearing this up.

As an eBay used parts seller, I appreciate your video but I can tell you some of the parts you recommend are really a waste of time for instance tail lights. I've sold plenty of them but I've stopped because there are too many sellers out there who don't have the mechanical expertise to remove anything more complicated than a tail light. The result is the market is flooded with them therefore the price has to go down for example BMW tail lights. You'll have to remove it, clean it, photograph it, put together an ad for it including figuring out which cars it's compatible with, and you'll have to pack it and ship it. You'll pay about $24 for it including tax, another $11 to ship it, plus $4 to eBay for selling fees so you'll need to sell it for $39 just to break even. If you want to get paid for the work you've done, you'll need to sell it for at least $60. The problem is, you'll find E46 tail lights for sale on eBay for $35, shipping included. Great deal for the buyer. Terrible for the seller. Moral of the story? Sell parts that are difficult to remove, not easy. That way, the market you're in will be void of low price parts picked by amateurs.

The three trim panels you removed to access that radio & climate controls are worth more than those two parts. And you don't need to worry about them not working.
Just saying.

Appreciated man, and most of them are small to handle, unlike a transmission or door

[LaughingblueSu]

Lots of parting out videos. But yours gave me the info i needed.
Thanks

[JWCMotorsports]

Helped a friend out this weekend, picked a rear door and taillight for a 1999 Forester. Helping out a friend so didn't make anything but like the idea and will give it a try. Money for my Autocross events and the car is always good.

How are you supposed to make money with the headlight and taillight pricing at about $32 ? With shipping they're probably gonna cost around $50. How much are we supposed to sell it for to make some money ?

[smyt]

Awesome video, thank you so much. Very informative videos. Keep working the great work.

[Cluecars]

great video, thanks for the simplicity and great info!

[Gendosk]

So many junk yards are selling parts higher because they know that they can get more on eBay, or that some YouTuber has people flipping their parts

[cdogg]

lol your pull-a-part still has the alloy wheels on the cars! not around here bub! those are already pulled before they are set in the yard

[abd]

What about the shipping any advice for it?

[dannyhd]

Any mirror with a compass temp. Servos from cars with dual zone heat. Any part from avalanche ext that isnt on a tahoe esclade.

[vicburt]

Ebays fees are too high shipping is to expensive and junkyard fees often exceed new chinese parts. I have to sell my parts at 3 to 4 times price paid just to make a profit.

[Nobody-ttcw]

AWESOME VIDEO - THANK YOU SO MUCH
Looking to part out my 03 expedition, any pointers on what (aside from these) would be the best/fastest selling parts for me to pull would be HUGELY APPRECIATED

[victormendoza]

So great video.the only problem I had was if people dont preform testing on the switches. They are potentially screwing others over.

[LansdowneMotorsport]

You didn't mention the 10% fees plus cost of shipping you have to pay after selling parts on eBay. These parts are also untested which makes the chance of return much higher. Not to mention that the average person will not be able to tell the difference between genuine OEM and an aftermarket part which is a deal breaker. I would not recommend doing this unless you are very knowledgeable about cars and online sales. There is huge money to be made at salvage yards but you need serious skills in order to do so

[Ghostech]

Very informative video. Keep up the great work.

[uhmeizuhngralphf]

I have two question for you do you pay taxes on the money you make on eBay and do you need some kind of a license from the city to sell parts on eBay?
