PURGED - And it feels so good...

[gearheadE30]

I have a bunch of parts lying around too, because all through high school I would go to the yards on weekends, buy stuff, and sell it here. The market for e30 parts absolutely sucks compared to what it was then. I can't hardly get rid of anything. Some stuff got tossed, and what's left I've been selling on ebay with no reserve. As a college student, even making a couple of bucks is nice, heh. Plus, I can walk to the post office, and ebay isn't much of a hassle.

I've always had problems throwing stuff away, but you're right, it's very cathartic to get rid of a bunch of stuff.

Im going through the same thing at the end of the month. Ive been holding onto so many 'just-in-case' E30 parts for years. All of it will either be free or be given to the junkman

I think several of you missed where I said there isn't really an E30 scene around here, most E30 parts on Craigslist never even sell, I see the same stuff listed for sale for months on end. People are acting like I'm throwing away parts that are new in the box and worth hundreds of dollars.

I know how you feel man. I have a shitload of old Datsun parts filling up my garage, basement, attic, etc. I need to get off my ass and sell them. I'm sooo tired of tripping over parts, and I know I'll be glad when they're finally gone. There isn't a huge Z market here though, so I'm not looking forward to trying to sell them.

I got a big ass barn that would love some e30 parts and frequent rides to Seattle area if anybody feels like throwing stuff away.

I thought this was going to be a thread about pooping. can it be a thread about pooping?

Some times, some things, just need to be thrown away.

I just did the same just the other day. Tossed a metric shit ton of parts that Im sure i couldve gotten money for.
For a couple reasons:
I dont want craigslist strangers in my shop snooping around asking dumb questions.
And my time is worth more than taking pics and listing 10-20 dollar parts.

But as always with car stuff, you dont need it until you throw it away..

i had a complete interior sitting in my room for 2 months after i converted to black e30 m3 interior. felt so nice selling all those parts to my buddy and getting some space back.

i'm not following the bolded statement..don't sell too much e30 ish personally, but isn't the market for the parts flourishing atm??

Last time I moved I threw away tons of E30 parts. I tried giving them away for free, but no one wanted them.

Also about a year ago I tried giving away an engineless E34 for free with a freaking title, but no one wanted it after months. So it went to the scrapper. :(

I know how you feel, I purged my VW shit other than quantum syncro stuff and now have so much more room. I had a 10x26 shed almost full of crap. Now I am missing stuff periodically but hey... no mess!!

hah, no. Either it's been taken over by poor quality, inexpensive chinese copies, or people are asking if anyone has some used brake pads they can have for free.

[slammin.e28]

I need to do this. Just cleaned the shop area and have boxes of M20 timing covers, etc.

The M30 stuff I'll hold on to.....but m20....getting tossed.

Only because I have 5 M20s torn down and two M30s, one complete, one torn down.
