Post Junkyarding

You're prolly in a good place, selling much needed parts .

I had a VW Shop in a College town and wasn't greedy so I did pretty well .

Most junkyards moan and ***** about never making enough $ then periodically clean out the yard of parts they'd refused to sell affordably, crush everything for scrap value then begin anew .

I just sold parts, few had much $, I sold the hell out of everything and made a decent living .

I don't want to deal with Customers anymore .

I tried the swap meet thing for a while and never made less than $1,000 a day after gas, entry fees and lunch for me and my son....

There too I sold, didn't waste too much time asking high prices .

All I had was a short bed1/2 ton pickup so no huge piles o' stuff to take, I rarely brought home more than a milk crate or two of left overs .
