Sounds like selling used parts isn't the business for you and you've found the way of dealing with used parts that works best for you.
But don't bash the entrepreneurial folks selling used parts on ebay and CL. They can make a good living at it. Nope used parts sellers don't make money for nothing. The "work" that goes into making that money includes dealing sellers and buyers. It includes dickering, tire kickers, and those that don't show up. Just like part of making a living in an office is sitting through mandatory meetings asking you to give "your fair share" to the United Way, spending all day fixing problems while your co-workers fill out their brackets and discuss last nights game, and best of all having to say, "great idea boss" when he just proposed the stupidest idea you think you've ever heard.
It's surprising how a worn out lawn tractor that's not worth $100 is worth $500 when all the parts are sold off off it. A good used gas tank is like gold! A starter motor is money. A carb is money. Pull starters are money. I've sold cracked rear tires for $20 each! -- they saw what they were getting in person and were happy.
I've done a bit of both--can't say as I like either one. :)
