Make Money Online With Ebay

When I started selling on eBay I realized that I couldn't keep selling my own property for long. I needed a new product to sell and I started searching the internet for wholesalers. I found many wholesalers of various products and I bought a few cases of product and then tried to sell these items on eBay. Unfortunately the products didn't sell that well and I got stuck with a lot of product. I then learned it was better to use dropshippers to supply my online business. When I use a dropshipping company I don't have to inventory the product nor ship the product. The other major advantage is that I can try to sell various products on eBay without having to buy the product first.

Let us start with ease of obtaining. Obviously newer car parts will be easier to get than older ones. A friend of mine still has a 1975 Pontiac Lemans. To obtain parts for this car he has to literally go to junk yards and even online. No new car dealers keep parts beyond 10 years or so and even auto parts stores limit their inventory to cars under 20 years. A 30 year old vehicle is almost impossible to find parts for. Plus, if you can find the part, depending on where you get it, the cost could be anywhere from 20 to 100% over the original part cost. To say that late model car owners are taken advantage of would be a gross understatement.

One of the many benefits to using Craigslist to find cheap car accessories is the search function. You don't have to spend hours sifting through a 2007 nissan altima transmission to find what you need. Instead, you sit at home on your computer and perform a search. To find the best deals and what you need, search with targeted phrases. Search with the make, model, or part you need. For example, Honda Civic fenders, Mercedes hubcaps, Geo Tracker door, Dodge Ram tailgate, and so forth.



The sites will also give you and idea of what the part will cost. Having several sites available to you it is easy to compare prices and what they offer. You will most likely find a site that has the pricing preferred for your budget and can fit your needs. You may also find sites that are offering the parts for the model you need. They have a large database with all the necessary items for the rebuild part or to keep the motor running.

There are some auto parts stores that operate just like the big retailers that sell new car parts. The customer arrives at the counter and asks for a specific part for a vehicle. The attendant then searches the inventory on a computer, and informs the buyer if the part is in stock and its price. This type of used auto-parts retailers provide convenience and hassle-free transactions for their clients. Most accept credit or debit cards, have air-conditioned lobbies and paved parking lots. However, if the purpose is to save the most money possible then the best place to buy used auto parts is a junk yard.

There are about 100 major auto parts suppliers on the internet. These are not your local parts store with a web site, (there are thousands of those), these are companies that make most of there sales on the web. Researching 100 sites before making a purchase is not my idea of how to start a great buying experience. So let me give you a few things to look for that will make your buying experience a pleasant one and help you bypass sites that may not provide the best security or customer service.

Take it to the scrap yard yourself. This can be difficult if the car is not running. You may need to hire a towing company to drop it off for you. Scrap yards pay by the pound. So, depending on how heavy your vehicle is you may come out on top.

Arrange for a deal. Make an appointment for the salvage yard to pick up your car. If your car is still driveable, you may be able to make more money on the deal by taking it to the yard yourself.
