    my experiment is failing.?..

    For last three weeks, I have been buying vehicles at 8c lb or little higher. I have been dismantling them and listing parts on eBay. I'm not having any luck selling any parts whatsoever. I was a mech for years, so I have a fair idea what is good and bad. I actually have more luck locally selling parts. On eBay no dice. But from what am I selling I'm barely breaking even. But for ****s and giggles I have been listing computer parts and they are selling. I don't get it. Im listing things much cheaper than the other places. Like for a example, I have a awd transmission from a Venture. Kinda rare. Tested and good. Everybody else wants 800, I got mine listed at 400 with 150 freight. No bites, bids, etc. I'm at the point where after trailer rental, fuel, labor, its just not profitable. Their is far easier work. Like buying and listing laptops on eBay. Any ideas!
