The stores sell used and surplus building materials donated by supply stores, contractors, demolition crews, and individual homeowners. Call your local Restore to see if they'll take your used materials.

What you're going to find with any other car parts store is that you're going to have to buy it new, and if you find yourself going to a place like a dealership, you're going to be paying an arm, and leg, trust me on this one.



2) The junk yard. While you might think you are above visiting a junk yard, are you above saving a lot of money? Probably not. A quick stop in at the local junk yard might save you a lot of money compared to a new air filter. And, even better, this ties directly into point #1. A friend of my, Robert, needed an auto part so he looked online and found a junk yard. The junk yard shipped him a part that was almost new and he couldn't have been happier. Just cause an air filter is used, doesn't mean it's very used!

By pricing items to go rather than to profit, sellers generally end up selling more items.

Before you scour the salvage yards, consider aftermarket. For just a little more money you can get a high quality, aftermarket replacement unit with a warranty. The average price for an aftermarket radiator in 2011 is $120 shipped.

If you have items that didn't sell, don't leave them lying around! There are many local charities that accept donations of many different types of items. They can use sell them at their local thrift store or give them to needy individuals.

Never offer to Donate your car unless you are doing it for moral purposes. Before 2005 The IRS was writing out deductions like nothing. Until they realize that they where losing Millions in revenue. Nowadays, to receive a deduction on a vehicle donation the value must exceed, but not including, $5,000. What does this mean? If you donate your car and they give you $5001.00, then your deduction is only $1.00. You are batter off taking it to a salvage yard and getting $50 bucks for it.
