I bought a large pile of parts for a couple and ended up with a ton of parts I have 0 use for. Some of which I can't in good conscious sell to Joe Schmoe on the internet or craigslist because I have no idea what shape they are in. Some of them lived outside and I have no way of testing them or knowing for sure if they were outside or not.

Any idea on some VW core buyers? I have a pile of air cooled VW fuel injection ECM's, a pile of radios and knobs, and a pile of carbs that need to be gone through or are parts carbs. Possibly some more parts a rebuilder would be interested in.

What else are core buyers/ rebuilders looking for?

Thanks for any help

Jim Adney rebuilds/sells Type 3 assemblies and stock/sells Type 3 parts.
If you have Type 3 parts to sell you can reach him at [email protected] since he hangs out in the Type 3 Chatroom http://vwtype3.org/ & NOT on TheSamba

You should also know that most of the core buyers don't offer enough to offset the shipping, the scrapyard pays more.
