As you all know i'm trying to get out of the mini game...
and they just keep hanging around here, i'm now at the point that i just want to get rid of them, i've had enough. There is over 200k worth of bits there.
but i have lost the love.
i'm even considering selling my special tools and diagnostic software.

money is money. Maximise your profit and sell them for what they are worth.

Or sell them as a job lot to another parts reseller but cover most of your costs - if you can.

Everybody can smell clearance sale so you will get nudda :cry:

Do you only sell rover bits or do you have clubbie parts too?

I'm past the profit part. Lost money in the GFC, and over it.
i would rather see them gone.
I don't want to dump it, but would rather sell it all of at a cheap rate, and walk away with a little.

Ebay bits individually.

It will be the most work out of your three options, but you'll get the highest return by far.

I'd streamline and simplify the whole process and do it the ebay way.
Fixed postage on items, paypal payment only within 3 days or something.

List X amount of things per day at a rate that you can keep up with.
May not make you rich but will get rid of things quick.

ebay it steve. lots of people will crack it with you if you dump it, it will take you forever to sell it all as one lot. of course, ebaying everything will mean taking photos and documenting... you could get a team of people on the job...

alternatively, see if other mini specialists are interested in taking the lot...
