I found a set of OEM tail lights on a 1994 Nissan 240SX (S13) in a salvage/junk yard today (quite uncommon for being in a Minnesota salvage yard), and the asking price of tail lights there is $35 a piece. So if I bought the set of gently used, almost perfect tail lights for $70, would I make money by turning around and selling them on Ebay? I tried to look the part up on Ebay, but all tail light searches for this car came up as aftermarket or JDM. ALSO, if I did make money by turning around and selling them, would the profit be worth driving out there (gas), picking the parts (time), driving back (more gas...) and posting it online? Thanx so much for the help.
P.S. I drive a Civic (30+ MPG)
I doubt you would make any money, because once you factor in the listing fees. The tail lights that are on e-bay you can buy for $50-75, but they are the aftermarket lights and when they can get something for cheaper they will buy that product. You could always set a lower buy it now and charge more in shipping and handling, but what you would have to charge in shipping to recoup what you put into them might scare people off, unless you got lucky and there is no other ones there.
