Am i doing something wrong???

Yes parts and parts and more parts. I do a LOT of resale. I will pay curb weight by current rate and sometimes higher if I have a gut instinct parts will sell. You need room and about 6 months to hold, but everything sells. I just sold a donut from a car for 40 ship. Luckily it was close to home, so wasnt much to ship. If it was clear across the country, it would have been 20 bucks clear after shipping. But 20 bucks x 40 donuts in year...well do the math. I have a 93 caravan wheelchair van sitting outside. I paid 150 for it...about 180 across the scale. Got lucky there. But, motors and trans do still sell out of those. Radios, ecms, etc. Plus I got even luckier and found another 93 caravan that is not rotted like the wheelchair van except the rear axle assembly. So Im swapping the rear assembly over from this one, to the other. Bam 1000 beater van in a hour or less, with torches and air guns. All told, net investment 400 between the two of them. And still tons of stuff to scrap and sell. You have to THINK out of the box. A subtle hint. The wheelchair ramp already has bites on it in less than 48 hours for 200 as well. Even know I will have to cut the floor with the torch and give them a chunk of the floor with it. I advertised as a hidden electric ramp for a motorcycle or lawn mower for install in in a van. Or a covered trailer. Lots of bites now. Motto of the day, THINK OUT OF THE BOX! It can be pennies or thousands, its all how you make of it. A friend of mine just gave me a old lift chair couch frame. I really didn't want considering it is less than 3 bucks at current price. Then realized the lift actuators were selling for 100 a piece x 4 in the couch.....:>~~~~
