It is always better to play it safe before you dig in. So, we strongly suggest that you be patient and run a small test before asking a manufacturer for 100 headlights. If you happen to have some spare genuinely used auto parts or you know someone that might have some you can try listing them on the web. It doesn’t cost you anything and you will be rest assured that you are not wasting your money. To list your parts we suggest that you choose a website that specializes in the industry, allows you to pay on per-sold basis, and offers automatic re-istings.
Your Options Galore: At an online auto parts marketplace, there’s an abundance of suppliers offering millions of products. Hence the chances of your finding exactly what you’re looking for and of the quality you desire, are much higher. Compare this to a visit to a brick ‘n’ mortar auto parts store which can only house as much variety of products as the floor space warrants.
Remember, this was some years ago when there was a LOT MORE competition for scrap due to higher metal prices. Many of the larger refineries on each coast were sending their reps out as “professional buyers” – essentially just what I was doing in the film business. Obviously, it was an expensive proposition to have someone earning a salary and traveling full-time – the cost in overhead is tremendous. NOBODY can afford to hire people to do this today, so there is almost NO competition for this business.
The Rolling junkyard: This person drives a 1920 something or other. It’s usually held together with duct tape and garbage bags. This car constantly drops its parts everywhere. Have you ever seen old mufflers, hubcaps or car parts lying in the road? They came from the rolling 1997 chevy tahoe.
You have to let it go. Believe me I know it is difficult. I had a horrendous crime committed against my family. I cannot describe the feelings I had. It affected my whole life, everything.
If you have a lot of junk laying around such as old cars, hub caps, rims and copper, only to name a few, you should take them to your local scrap yard. Taking this scrap and having it recycled can reduce mining waste by a whopping 97%. This is huge for the safety of our environment. Recycling scrap metal may be profitable, but is also very resourceful. Also, the heavier your scrap, the more you get paid. Scrap yards often pay by weight, not by number of items. If you want to make a lot of money in one trip, look for lawn mower, car engines and other heavy scrap materials.
Auto salvage yards that operate a used auto parts department often sell parts to retail or walk-in customers. Many yards also do business with auto wholesale parts companies or other junk yards. Many used auto parts businesses use auto parts locator services to manage their inventory. These programs also help them connect with other yards and body shops. Body shops can benefit greatly from doing business with auto salvage yards because they can acquire the parts they are looking for at a fair price.
Other vegetables that you may want to consider for your container vegetable garden include beans and cucumbers. You may also try hot peppers such as those of the cayenne variety.
It does not hurt to post your own ad stating to others that you are seeking a classic car. This way you can list the make and model and even the year. If anyone with that car is trying to get rid of one, you may find yourself in luck. If you put yourself out there then at least you are making your request public. You might be surprised how often reverse advertising works for people.
