ABS Module.. new goldmines?

I don't scrap vehicles but over the years I've had to purchase ABS/transmission/main computers for different vehicles. I usually pick one up off ebay because of the cost new/refurbished. Many times the price you will get will vary greatly depending on the model. I had some early 90's accords. They are known for bad transmission computers. I'm sure with other models the failure rate is lower, so the price was lower. You just have to do some research. Many times the sellers ask for the old unit back as a core, which is something to keep in mind.

Thanks Phantom: I'm going to see if this thing will sell locally, I have no interest in buying a new one, I'm trying to see if maybe someone would give me core price for this if it doesn't sell as a "used part" Heck my core buyer takes rims, converters, a/c pumps, starters, rotors etc.. no one seems to take ECM's or Modules here locally where I am. If these things core out in the $50-$60 range somewhere, I'll pull them out of every vehicle I get and save them up, and ship em off.. Just trying to find a buyer if there is a market for these at all?

jg- Heck I'd take $40 on core for this if it could be had. Did you Ebay the part or sell it to a core buyer?

Most core buyers will them. Prise will depend on year and model# and sell like converters, prices range from a few $ to in the hundreds.

I will have to pull apart the one I put aside to make into a hydraulic pump for a project.

Ah, is there actually Gold inside it? Everything else I pull apart seems to have gold in it these days....
