Same here Sledge, but if I see a running car at an insurance auction for awfully cheap, I'll snatch it up and sell parts on car-part.com. It's my best resource for selling more expensive parts like transmissions and motors.

Not meaning you sledge i am meaning all of the people that bring in like $5 worth to buy a beer.lol

Also i thought u had to be a dealer and or salvage yard to sell on car-part

I own two garages and a budding salvage yard. The shops were inherited, so, I sell parts through the shop, but, I'm pretty hands off so far as the actual management.

Well i hauled in some harness wire and brake rotors yesterday.I did better than i thought i would.Got $0.66 per lbs for harness wire and $170 and $160 net ton for the rotors.Not too bad i dont guess.

Well went down another $10 yesterday.Now at $65 per ton.

Still sitting at $35.00 a ton
Been a long time but somehow I scored 2 cars from 1 guy >> I paid him $90.00 each because they both had aluminum rims
I did not sit the first car on the nose of the Red Escort because I might be able to sell the Escort as a complete unit
It runs and drives and looks decent inside and out

In other news >> I received a message from my CAT guy on Thursday >>
Hi John, Not sure what # to call you on. The platinum market is down to 873 this morning from 911 yesterday. I have already been told cats will be dropping at least $5 next week. I suggest we buy your cats tomorrow. Let me know. Thanks

So I set up to sell him my Cats today at noon >> Most times my average is in the high Sixty's
Todays average was a dismal $46.87 for 95 Cats with a payout of $4453.00
It did NOT help that 12 of those 95 were After Market @ $3.00 each

Yeah the bottom is falling out of everything.Prices going down again on cats sucks.
I can't believe you already built up another 95 cats since your last big haul.

It's been my experience, that if a car is running I can get $1000 or better.
That's where iam though. Maybe different where you are.
