This going to be hard to answer but I thought I'd throw it out here in the event a swap meet junkie may be nearby or traveling through this area. I have a reasonable number of parts that have been accumulated over the years. I'll be honest in saying i don't even know for sure what all is there. A car or two, A good assortment of carb parts, ( AVS thermo quad and ?), 2 complete BB 727 cores ( 1is a 64 Console shift) A butt load of 727 parts and valve bodies, BB water pump housings, distributors and parts some 68 charger stuff ( not a lot), 68-9 B body outside door handles, 68 side marker lights a bin or two of new repro stuff, along with nuts bolts, fasteners , head studs for a 2nd gen hemi, various gaskets and the list goes on. What are the chances of finding someone interested in the entire lot??? I don't have the time or desire to start researching what everything is and fits much less listing the stuff. I do realize a buyer would have to make $$ on the deal and don't expect market pricing but something worthwhile for him and myself. Screwy idea??? thanks for any input ![beer beer](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/beer.gif)

there are buyers for this. not a lot of them, but will depend on how good your mopar connections are on finding one. problem is unless there are rare parts involved these buyers won't pay much over $.02 on $1.00 of value IF you find one.
IMOP if you don't want to waste a lot of TIME don't wait for the Christmas rush and just scrap them. almost no one buys this stuff these days tf it were me i would start with putting the small easily shippable parts on ebay and go from there.

I am in the same situation. 50 year accumulation. 11 cars, Hemi, Six pack, NOS ect. Not enough time left to sell it by piece. Thinking on offering it as a whole but not giving it away either. Sure I am not the only one as we are all getting older and do not want to pass the problem on to my wife.

I might give him a call at that point. Time is my problem right now. But,I'm just going to have to do it at some point. Thnaks to all for the responses good or bad ![beer beer](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/beer.gif)

It's a fairly common problem - probably rates as "minor" in my case, but a couple racer friends have trailers full. It comes down to what your time is worth vs parts value, and it's rarely if ever convenient. I've just given stuff to folks that can use it, sold some stuff cheaply that I'll never need, but there's still some stuff for sale that's taking a while. The Ebay/PayPal thing will run about 14% and takes a bit more time than FBM or CL, but generally there's less flakiness. What seems odd to me is that in the last couple of years, ads on Moparts, FABO, & FBBO barely get a response.
One buddy with a fair amount of Maxie & Race Hemi stuff can't seem to move it, and I don't think he's overpriced, but that's a small market.

Seems like a buying opportunity for a younger person. The cars will remain popular, in my opinion, for the foreseeable future. As the parts supply dwindles, prices on remaining parts will go up. I didn't say prices of cars will go up, I said they will remain popular. If popular, you'll need parts.

Unless your fiscally unable to you need to inventory the parts,weed out the crap cyl. heads pump housings etc. etc.get down to the core goody's & then reap the profits of your time, so you take your time what a couple of months.
