I've started parting out my 89i parts car Tons of good parts to get rid of.
Since the car is at home and I am at college, I only pull parts off of it on weekends. Since I am a pretty busy person, (2 jobs, studying for MCAT, girlfriend, etc) here's what I'm doing to notify people of parts:

If you want to get notified of these parts, please send an email to
hickersbbmw@hotmail.com, with the subject line of SUBSCRIBE. I'll set up an email list, and each weekend after I get done stripping stuff off of the car, I'll mail out all the stuff I have removed. I'll also post a weekly list here and on bmwe30.net Email asking me questions to that address (hickersbbmw@hotmail.com) most likely won't get a reply.

Note that the email address of this message points back to hickersbbmw@hotmail.com, so clicking above will work fine - however, please don't send questions of the type "Do you have X" to that address. Proper contact info will go out on the list.

Now then, I need some advice. What is the best method for getting rid of this stuff, and how much should I ask. I was thinking either:

1. Make up a price of somewhere between 1/2 and 1/3 of what it goes for new at bav auto or some other discount dealer.

or

2. Pull it all out, take pics, throw it all on ebay and let the market decide what its worth.

What do you think is the least hassle for me and potential buyers?


Thanks!
