Gots a cool looking estate sale coming up next weekend. Looks like the guy was into old outboard motors and that was my "niche" a few years back. I made a ton of money buying old (non-running) motors for $50-$75 each. I'd tear 'em down and sell the individual parts. I could easily turn $50 into $500-$750 depending on the motor (usually kickers up to 15HP).
I'm drooling over this one but it's not in town (2 hour drive). I don't know the seller and it's just not worth the gamble to possibly make that drive for nothing. I have 2-3 local sales to hit anyway ... but this one sure is tempting. Looks like some really nice resto projects there! I'd imagine there are prolly a bunch of boxes full of loose parts in this garage also. :(
