I appreciate the insight on the situation though. Maybe in a year I'll look back and kick myself for passing this up. Under my current circumstances, I'm going to gut the Pontiac Sunfire I picked up yesterday for $200 bucks and make some profit off that. Unfortunately, right now, that is the stage in the car scrapping biz I'm in.

keep doing what your doing, if you can keep getting cars in the 2 to 300 range you will do fine, the ONLY time i ever paid more than scrap on purpose anyway was when i needed a transfer case for a durango, found a rollover on cl and i paid 650 for it. i will tell you where i messed up the most, stuff like sun visors, tail lights and other easy stuff to pull is worth a good amount of money and doesnt weigh anything, the bezel in my 02 2500 is over $100. i still dont pull it all but i know i should , another thing i forget to do is label what car they came off of, i can usually figure it out with the repeated use of the google button, my way to resolve this is to buy 10 or so big plastic bins at walmart and just label the outside of the bin, i just gotta get to walmart
