Anytime the newspapers tell everyone that the sky is falling and to hide under a rock is a GREAT time to start looking to buy parts and cars or anything.
The reason is that when some fall for their crap, they panic and when pressed they will sell anything just to get by.
These periods present unique opportunities for you to help them (buy those parts or cars they could not afford or could ever complete anyway) while you save as much as 50-75% off the inflated retail pricing of the stuff in normal conditions.
I have done several deals this week and am going to agressively look to pick up other items. All 100% brand new premium parts.
CASH is always KING in these and as well other times..have it available and you will do well...

That's all fine and dandy if you have a job where your future is somewhat secure, but for most that are influenced by market pressures there may be several of us that will have no choice but to sell off whatever we can to put food on the table.

"That's all fine and dandy if you have a job where your future is somewhat secure, but for most that are influenced by market pressures there may be several of us that will have no choice but to sell off whatever we can to put food on the table."
Make your own job....create your own market, don't let people tell you what to do, or not to do...
There have trillions made in these markets by those who have the knowledge of when to buy and when to sell. It works BOTH WAYS, only history tells down is ALWAYS FASTER.
If you think of it as flipping a coin and only being able to win when heads show up you get the picture..you can not bet on tails or win when tails show up...
If you let others tell YOU what to do with YOUR money YOU have only ONE PERSON TO LOOK TO, FOR RECOURSE.
Let me know what you have I might "help" you put food on your table.

I was at Hershey on Saturday and sat in for part of the auction.. Nothing was going for reserve, if it did sell, it was going for 50-70% of what the reserve was.
There were actually better deals inside the auction house as people were just unloading stuff to get rid of it than out in the car corral.
Oh almighty OHD. If we could all be just like you. The World would implode with pompass arrogance.
Now back to the subject. Yes, deals can be found. However, buying up someones surplus parts doesnt always render a good deal. You have to know what your getting yourself into for sure. If you know what your getting and are sure its worth the time and effort then good. Buy it. You may have just helped a guy put food on his table. We all have dreams. Sometimes they need to refocus.... the car... or the family. I would always "choose" the family.
