To echo Jim, what's your time worth? Some items take forever to properly remove (think complete headlight wiper wiring harness) for $30? Never again. I usually have one being parted, but not always on purpose. Others were purchased for specific parts for my own use (think hyperactive border collie who chews through wagon only seat belts). It's beer money, no return on your time investment. I also don't charge myself rent on the shed space. I've lost sales because of price...Sure you can get a dashboard at the pick and pull for $20, but if you want me to remove it, properly pack it and ship, then its going to be more. I'll match the $20 but only if you come and get it without destroying anything else. Also, lots of "I'll buy that part", but after too many emails (more time), payment never happens. It does however keep good "stuff" in circulation for others to use.
