Too Cheap For The Junkyard.

Stopped by a local junkyard today in south bend Indiana. Found 3 Comanches, all pretty ragged but still a few useable parts.... But when they wanted 40$ each per tail light, and 15 bucks each for headlight bezels, i had to walk away. I can only imagine what they would want for a fuel sending unit or anything else worth the trouble. Since when did junkyards start charging so much? I hate being poor.

My local JY got hip to the MJ taillight "value" after I bought my 2nd pair...

 

The first pair was $10 each, just like an XJ

 

The second pair I bought was $20 each. Now they go for $30 each OR $50 a pair. I'm glad I snaggged that 2nd pair forr replacements.

It's not about being poor.... I don't understand it either in miami you pay the same for pulling the part than someone else pulling it for you.... Idk maybe ill be lucky to find another junkyard but I only have two u pull its and they charge an arm and a leg most of the time I stuff things into my huge cargo short pockets and stick it to them for sticking it to Me with the price

Pick-n-pull yards aren't legal in Connecticut but I've been to big ones in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. Same price for whatever part (taillight, bumper, grille, etc.), regardless of what vehicle it comes off. The one in PA even has a printed price sheet -- I use his prices as my prices in the rare event I have a spare of something when somebody urgently needs it.
