What's it worth?t

[blown motor]

I sell it on fb marketplace. It's been working for me.

What I have been doing is selling on Facebook to specific groups. E-body parts on E body pages same with my B-Body parts. I went back to the old school way of selling. Someone is interested they send me a check or postal money order for the amount of the part plus shipping. I cash their check and ship the part and send the tracking info. No selling fees and NO IRS reports. I have done this several times in the last few months and have had great success. That is how we did it before Pay Pal or Venmo or before E bay went all crazy with their rules and regulations and charges.

@js27  I agree, checks still work just fine. It just takes a few days more to send and clear the check which is seldom a problem.

I prefer to sell on this site, I've mostly e-body stuff anyway. FB Marketplace has a large audience but is also a pain with so many dumb responses and can be tough to keep track in Messenger. But definitely better than eBay!!

I agree eBay has gotten out of hand with the fees and now the 1099 nonsense.  I used to use it as a garage sale platform where I could reach lots of people.  Now it is just pro sellers gouging prices to cover fees. 

I have also found when I ask wow the prices seem very low compared to what I can actually find out there.  I am also west of the Mississippi and it seems to beore difficult to source for parts.  I will gladly pay shipping and don't mind sending Venmo, zelle or PayPal friends if I talk to the person on the phone.  The trim I need the asking price was nearly $2k... At those prices I won't be able to afford to bring my car back to what it is supposed to be

You can still write-off or apply your cost basis in the part against the 1099 income.  It's an extra form C? and a hassle but I would think for most that would negate the "tax" side of things.

My plan is to keep my business license active while I sell parts, and sell them as a business asset,  then deduct operating expenses from that income.
  So help me pay my utilities and taxes. This place is about $2000 a month in fixed costs,  without mortgage.
So far I've sold nothing.
Come on, man!       Thanks J.B.

So far, my plan hasn't worked,  but I did send parts to someone for free, and never heard anything.
