It’s the wrecker that has to do it for every item which increases the amount of labour that goes into every saleable item to the point that we end up with pricing for very rare parts like this…
It's called work, taking pictures and tapping on a keyboard still beats digging trenches. A lot of U.S wreckers are listing on ebay and selling worldwide.
Yeah, that was sort of my point.
Its easy work, but still time consuming which adds to the labour costs of parts.
What brings me to comment here is that in one instance I am reading that a wrecker should just jump on e-bay (which assumes they are computer savvy, E-bay Savvy, Paypal savvy, and understand all the computer scams that go on) and somewhere else I’m reading that guys won’t sell on e-bay because of all the drama’s, but business’s are expected to cop all those drama’s.
It sure as hell can work, no argument, but it’s not for everyone.
People don’t like taking Paypal because of the fee’s, but every business that’s ever excepted a credit card has to cope with those same fee’s
Hiring labour here isn’t an easy thing either.
US seems to be able to do a lot of things cheap, they have cheap labour costs as there seems to be a larger gap between the haves and have nots.
Mexican labour gets pipes welded up cheaply, can’t get that here, I am the bloody Mexican.
I don’t think anyone doubts that you can make a living from the net, but it has become so easy that lots of backyard operators can build small business’s that don’t have the overheads of somebody with a shop front.
As a consequence, some good business’s that aren’t computer savvy fall by the wayside.
I work from home myself, I used to rent a factory but the overheads were too high for this industry, it was restructure to cheaper overheads or go do something else.
I guess some wreckers are choosing to do something else.
