like i said i'm not limiting myself to any make model or year, if i can buy it for less than it will sell for on ebay i will buy it, i just need a bit of startup cash to buy the stuff from the start

i've noticed that most of the mainstream cars' parts on ebay go for a lot less than they can be bought for at junkyards, a LOT less. so it's probably going to end up being mostly rare cars, or cult cars... things that are old, and people find worth keeping running despite logic

for example a used a/c compressor for a 95 accord 4 cyl on ebay tends to go for around 80 dollars, and from the junkard is around 110 dollars
however an acura TL compressor from the 5 cyl is 50 at the junkyard and is the same part
or
a power steering pump for the same accord goes for around 30 dollars on ebay but from the junkyard is 58 dollars, however again the acura CL has the same pump and from the JY is 35 dollars

but a camry steering rack is 100 from the junkyard and seems to bring in around 170 on ebay

like i said it's all about selling profitable things and not selling costly things
