Daniel L Posted August 16, 2018 Report Posted August 16, 2018 I was thinking about selling a lot of parts from a 47' Plymouth I picked up a few weeks ago. I was seeing if anyone had any recommendations on the best way to go about it?
rekbender Posted August 16, 2018 Report Posted August 16, 2018 Back in January, I bought a large lot of '35 PJ parts from a hot rodded car. The owner had tried for months to sell the entire lot on CL with little interest and no takers. I advertised them here (some interest) as well as my local CL, but again, no sale. I finally posted everything to a Hemmings internet parts ad. They featured my ad one Saturday on their Hemmings Daily email and my parts sold that week. Don't overlook Hemmings - their on line ads not expensive. Parts lots can be hard to sell unless they are are really cheap (I love cheap parts lots). Do list them here on p15-d24 and see what happens. Are you willing to sell individual items? Yeah, it's a lot more work that way.

P15-D24 Posted August 17, 2018 Report Posted August 17, 2018 With the new paid classified ads you can add up to 5 images per ad. This way you can group a batch of items together and show them in on image. Also, you could list a parts description on what is in the images. Plymouth Adams tips are also spot on.

I am willing to sell individual items but I will be selling things that are way too big to ship. Such as a cab and fenders.

pflaming Posted August 17, 2018 Report Posted August 17, 2018 Like you, I thought I could get some cash back, not that easy. I have a very rare 53/54 Suburban fuel tank, no takers yet. So I'm cleaning unique parts and storing them. Every once in a while some one needs one and I sell it, Money not the motive, helping someone and acrelunctance to toss things is my motive. I grew up having to make my toys if I wanted some, made me appreciate things.
