What do you guys do for extra income?

[Funkmasta]

if you're on the bad end of the stick... thats no reason to hate :D

AFAIK membership is still expensive, and you need a trailer, and be present at the auction, so it's not like any Joe (no pun intended) can easily get a car.

Right, but the problem here, is that Copart is enabling people to illegally dismantle cars for profit. That means that all of a sudden I have to compete with people that don't pay taxes, insurance, licenses, bonding, payroll, etc etc etc... AND I have to pay more for the cars in the first place, since all these people with no overhead can get "good deals".

... I didn't even re-register for the auctions this year.

Is it illegal to purchase a car from a copart auction, dismantle it, and sell the parts?

I never looked into the laws.

That's for businesses. What about your average person that buys a cheap car and decides to sell parts off of it? Does he have to work under junkyard regulations? Where do you draw the line? 1 part? 10 parts? 100 parts?

i know that. that means every person in the for sale forum is operating as a business. my point is where you draw the line. you draw it so that people aren't buying and selling parts for 3 cars a year, because it effects your business. someone like me would draw it higher because I like picking up cheap/free cars, taking the good parts, and taking the junk to the scrap yard - and either using the parts, or selling them.

are you 2 homos related?? jgood and jscotty? you fucking retards have the same mentality. just curious
eat an inbred dick

Hmmm.. The real question is why are you obsessed with homos and my penis? I'd really like to get to the bottom of that.

Before this conversation gets out of control... I am not upset with you. I am upset with Copart and the DMV. :D

[Funkmasta]

To take that one step further, there are habitual offenders that I am upset with as well, but... what can you do?

That is the beginning of the story of why I no longer am on BF.C, which I view as a loss for them as I was a very active contributing member, as you can see. :)

it's all good in the hood.

back to the topic at hand - if you wanna make some good quick money, deliver pizza in your spare time. seriously.

Car washing is a good side hustle too.. Get a water tank, a pressure washer and a truck and set up shop in a parking lot near an apartment community. The people will come.
