Welcome to CL as a new poster.. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't quite follow you on the issue of "pulling" parts, or whether your proposal actually makes much economic sense. Why would most people buy used parts from you, at a mark-up (I'm assuming you're trying to make a profit on them), when they can go directly to the yard and buy them at (presumably) the same lower prices that you paid the yard for them?

Because some ppl don't want to or they don't like to go to junkyard

Well, OK, then, if you want to go that route, one thing you might want to start with is wheel-rims. With the number or potholes and the poor condition of today's American roads, a lot of fairly expensive wheel rims are getting damaged or ruined. Alloy rims can cost quite a bit brand-new, so some people are probably looking for used ones.

Default Which parts to scavenge for resale

surprisngly it i s the smallest and electronic parts that are the biggest moneymakers

Just do a search on eBay Motors in autoparts and accessories and sort by SOLD highest prices first.

So you could concentrate on electronic engine parts and ECU / Tranny / relays . Easy to carry and transport.

I have seen some people making at least $1,000 a week jsut doing what you are thinking of doing

PM me if you have more questions
