So from all the posts from Petes Query, HOW Many of you are willing to sell what you collect to others ?????? OR do you only want to have for your future projects????

Isn't the adage everything is for sale for the right price!

I amassed my own small hoard some years back. Needed some money and came to realize I wasn't going to build another car from all those spare, spare, spare parts so some were traded and some sold off. I only keep a small footlocker full of tiny parts and hardware. If something major breaks, I'll find a replacement then. We need to make sure the new guys coming into the hobby don't get disgruntled before they even start.

If I don't have a plan for it then I will sell it.After the iron pile gets to a certain size I start to see a vehicle in it and think about building whatever I have the most body parts for.Some things I am tending to keep now,as it takes so many of them before I find a good one.Worms and sectors come to mind first.This little truck started as a roadster cowl,stanchions in the iron pile,and a Mack Hils bed in the shed.I had bought two new beds because I got a better price on two and got them shipped for the cost of one.When I got to looking at the cowl the idea of a roadster pickup started to form.Once I decided to build one I looked for what I needed and was driving it in a year.I have a 30 ton lowbed trailer left from when I was trucking,I use it as a Model A parts table.I don't have any pictures of it,but guys that have come here for parts have taken pictures of it.People here tell me that it is the most expensive pallet they have ever seen.

I have lots of parts but don't advertise them for sale simply because I don't want the hassle of shipping them. I always put some out when we have a garage sale, but nobody even knows what they are most of the time.

JBill · 01-06-2013, 05:07 PM

Oh, and swap meets around my home are few and far between and always seem to be when I'm on vacation!

LukeDahlinger · 01-06-2013, 05:14 PM

I very seldom sell anything for the simple reason I will need it for a project. I used to buy large quantities of A parts then sell what I didn't want. Don't have time for that anymore so I just buy what I need.

CarlG · 01-06-2013, 06:33 PM

When I have decided that I no longer have a use for a part, and by chance someone else has a need for it, it's gone! I still buy way more than I sell. (or trade or give away)

gweilbaker · 01-06-2013, 06:34 PM

Sometimes I GIVE them to someone that can use them, does that count?

peters180a/170b · 01-06-2013, 07:44 PM

1928/29 Parts i give them away when mixed in with 30/31 parts as a package. I only collect MID 1930 parts. Everything else i sell at Hershey /. When ever i do sell my cars or if for some reason i don't wake up tomorrow and my daughter sells my cars all the parts collected as spares goes with the cars. That's what i told her. All other car related items goes to my friends who might out live me....

Jerry Parr WI · 01-06-2013, 08:03 PM

I sell or give away most repro parts I get in bulk purchases. Original parts like Ed I trade parts for other original parts.

BILL WILLIAMSON · 01-06-2013, 09:55 PM

I have a generator, intake manifold, distributor, water pump & fan, choke rod assy, front engine yoke, & 377 assorted bolts, nuts & washers----AM I IN DANGER OF BEING LABELED A "HOERDER"?? Bill W.

Rowdy · 01-06-2013, 10:16 PM

Anything I consider extra parts are for sale or trade. Pic's below of the stuff in the old parts barn. Most of this stuff has been sold and different stuff has taken its place. Rod

looks like a Kari Keen Trunk in the 3rd photo on post # 16

My motto is get it before the hoarders get it!!

Rowdy · 01-08-2013, 07:15 AM

Yes, that is a Kari- Keen. Right now it is in my shop waiting for its ride to Western Iowa. Rod

Ron Lowe · 01-08-2013, 08:53 AM

I built a new garage 4 years and decided I didn't want any parts or clutter. I sold every part on E-bay. My garage is as clean as most people's home and now my wife likes to spend time with me and watch TV in the garage. Life is good!

Bob-A · 01-08-2013, 10:27 AM

The way "P.S." described how he distributes parts is how we use to do
Harley parts back in the day. That is untill Hollywood and the RUBs (rich urban wanna-be bikers) discovered Harleys.

My best friend and I trade
"A" (& Harley) parts when needed. Other then that I get most of my used
"A" parts from the ....Bay.
