They're giving you good advice there. I've tried selling for other people before and you just end up doing a lot of work for not much profit. Sometimes they think their items are worth much more than they really are and you can't please them. I know you're looking for a site to sell on and not warnings, but the 10% of SALES will lose money every time because
eBay and PayPal fees take 15%. I have a policy now of 50/50 after fees and shipping. That sounds high, but if you get into it for a while you'll find that it's a lot of work with writing descriptions, pictures, answering questions, keeping up with the finances and shipping.
Bejak's idea is good, work out a deal to buy the trash stuff from them. That way they will know when the cash hits their hand how much money they made.
Ok, back to your original question. You're right on them just sitting on eBay, I've had a trash truck and other trucks before to part and didn't sell anything I listed on eBay except some leftover decals. I don't know of any auctions for truck parts right now but
www.truckpaper.com has a parts section that you can list your stuff in. It's kind of like an autotrader for trucks. There are many trash truck rebuilders and used parts suppliers out there. Best bet is just hit the web and start contacting them to see what you have that they need. I'd still go for a higher percentage because it's going to be a lot of work.
