For those in the business of parting out vehicles—or just looking to make some money from a car that’s no longer roadworthy—PartingOut.com is a purpose-built marketplace where you can sell used auto parts individually, quickly, and to the right buyer.
Rather than posting your entire vehicle as a single “mechanic’s special” or “for parts” listing on Craigslist or Facebook, PartingOut allows you to list each part, price it, and sell it to a nationwide audience of mechanics, DIYers, and rebuilders.
But once you start handling multiple vehicles, SKUs, and platforms, keeping everything straight becomes a job in itself. That’s where Wakewall helps you build a searchable, organized, and scalable workflow.
✅ Pros of Selling on PartingOut
1. Platform Built Specifically for Used Auto Parts
Unlike generic marketplaces, PartingOut is tailored to dismantlers and sellers who want to list components from a salvage car—so buyers know what to expect.
2. Sell Every Usable Part Separately
From headlights to HVAC controls to entire transmissions, you can list everything individually, often making more money overall than selling the car whole.
3. Streamlined Part Diagrams & Requests
Buyers can view exploded diagrams, part categories, and request specific parts. It’s easy for both sides to know what’s available and what fits.
4. Exposure to a Targeted Audience
Buyers are mechanics, restoration pros, and DIYers—not casual browsers. That means fewer no-shows and more legitimate inquiries.
5. Nationwide Reach with Lower Competition
PartingOut sellers face less competition than eBay or Facebook sellers, especially for rarer parts or less common vehicles.

❌ Cons of Selling on PartingOut
1. Niche Platform with Lower Traffic
It’s not as well-known as eBay or Facebook, so you may not get volume sales on common parts right away.
2. No Built-In Shipping System
You’ll need to manage packaging, postage, and delivery methods on your own, depending on part size and buyer location.
3. Manual Listings for Each Part
Unlike selling an entire car, listing every part individually takes time—and detailed record-keeping.
4. No Immediate Payments or Escrow
Buyers pay directly, and there’s no built-in payment protection like on some larger platforms. Communication is key.
5. Limited Brand Recognition
Some buyers may still prefer to go through eBay or local options unless they’re specifically looking for harder-to-find parts.

📝 How to Sell on PartingOut
Step 1: Register and Create a Vehicle Listing
You start by uploading information about a specific vehicle (VIN, year, make, model, condition).
Step 2: Add Individual Parts
Manually list each usable part, setting a price, description, and whether it’s available or sold. Buyers can also request parts you haven’t listed yet.
Step 3: Manage Communication
Buyers message you directly to ask about condition, shipping, or compatibility. You can negotiate pricing or confirm availability.
Step 4: Ship and Get Paid
Once a buyer agrees, you ship the part and receive payment—usually through PayPal or another agreed method.
🚀 How Wakewall Helps Part Sellers on PartingOut
PartingOut lets you reach targeted buyers. Wakewall helps you run the operation behind the scenes—even if you’re working out of your garage.
Here’s how Wakewall brings structure to your side hustle or full-time resale biz:
1. Track Vehicle Inventory and Parts by VIN
Wakewall helps you log:
- VIN, make/model, year, condition
- Total acquisition cost (what you paid for the car or got for free)
- Which parts have been pulled, photographed, and listed
- What’s sold, what’s pending, and what’s still in the vehicle
You’ll never lose track of what you’ve parted out.
2. Organize Each Part by Category and Location
With Wakewall, you can:
- Tag parts by type (electrical, engine, exterior, interior)
- Track where each part is stored (garage shelf, bin, box, etc.)
- Add serial numbers, OEM codes, and condition notes
- Quickly search across all parts and vehicles
You stay organized—even when juggling 5–10 cars worth of parts.
3. Set Reminders for Removal, Listing, and Follow-Up
Use Wakewall reminders to:
- Schedule teardown sessions
- List parts before market value drops
- Follow up with interested buyers
- Plan a price drop or promotion for slow sellers
Perfect if you’re also working a full-time job and selling on weekends.
4. Cross-Post Tracking Across Platforms
Most PartingOut sellers also list parts on:
- eBay Motors
- Facebook Marketplace
- Craigslist
- OfferUp
- Car forums or Discords
Wakewall helps you track:
- Which parts are listed where
- Whether they’ve sold (and need to be removed from other platforms)
- Which platforms deliver the highest ROI for specific categories
Say goodbye to missed messages and double sales.
5. Build a Reputation Beyond the Platform
PartingOut doesn’t give you a personal storefront—but Wakewall can.
Use your public Wakewall profile to:
- Showcase what vehicles you’re parting out
- Share photos or “inventory drop” posts
- Build a following among mechanics or local buyers
- Post sourcing tips, teardown videos, or success stories
- Link to your contact methods or other platform listings
Great for networking with local garages or expanding your brand.
