I would say that the rare parts are better selling since there is so many different
stores that sell the basic parts.

Interesting. Thanks.
Yeah, I suppose it depends on how you're using the term "better"
with selling?
Consider what it is, dealing in "rare parts" as you put it. Is there
less competition? Yes - Higher profit margins? Yes - High demand? No, but in
demand by a lesser demographic - Sells in volume? No - Regular sales? No
- More discerning or demanding buyers? Yes - Up or downward pressure on pricing?
Usually only up.
Although of the same marketplace, the common (high use) and rare (collectible)
parts, I view them as different markets. Therefore I told myself long ago, why
not offer both for a more comprehensive customer base.

Are you? Persistence, patience and perseverance.
We're going into what will in my opinion, be a thorough house cleaning of
small to medium sized businesses. Sadly, many households too. Extremely tough
period. Those smaller businesses that are not weeded out, will come out the other
end of this stronger. Although these periods are cyclical, this is gonna be doozy.
Buckle up, it's a "perfect storm" this time.
I've posted over the years various types of advise for the "smaller store"
From retail opportunities for profitable partouts, to ideas to keep-in-mind while
selling, and everything in between. So to you I say, see my opening line here
and keep trying.

| Why do you think we are going into a period of house cleaning?
