How it works

  1. 01 · Pick the car

    Year, make and model, the way they’re written on the windshield tag. Pick from the lists, or type in the VIN.

  2. 02 · See every part, ranked

    What each one is listed for on eBay, what the yard charges for it, and how long it takes to get off. The best payoff is at the top.

  3. 03 · Pull in that order

    The sheet saves to your phone and works with no signal, which most yards don’t have. Make a pull list, and check it against the price board when you get there.

How to read a row

Every part on the car gets a row like this, best first. The real numbers are on the sheet. Here’s what each spot means.

Instrument clusterelectrical · eBay A · typical B · CDE
The dot
How sure the row is. Green: the numbers behind it were measured. Amber: some of it is a best guess. Hollow: so few are for sale that the price doesn’t tell you much.
A eBay
What used ones are listed for on eBay right now, from the middle of the pack. That’s an asking price, not what one sold for.
B typical
What a pull-your-own yard usually charges for it. Check it against the price board at your yard.
C time
About how long it takes to get off. A few were timed with a stopwatch; the rest are best guesses, and the row tells you which.
D the big number
What you save by pulling it yourself instead of buying it used. Flip the sheet to “what I clear” and it shows what a reseller would have left after eBay’s cut, shipping, and the usual drop from asking price to sale.
E under it
That number for each hour of work. You can sort the list by either one.

Where the numbers come from

They’re asking prices: what used parts are listed for on eBay right now. eBay keeps its sold prices to a short list of approved apps, and this isn’t one of them. So each row starts from the middle asking price, then takes off the usual drop to a sale, eBay’s cut, shipping, and what the yard charges. Every row says which numbers were measured and which are best guesses.

906 models
Model years 1980 to 2027, cars, trucks, SUVs and vans, with 87 parts checked on each.
88 yard board prices
copied off real yard price boards, so you’re comparing against what a yard actually charges, not a guess. The prices themselves are on the sheet.
4 pull times measured
with a stopwatch: ashtray, door panel, master window switch, window switch. The rest are best guesses, and every row says which. 4 out of 87 isn’t many, and it’s printed here on purpose: it’s the reason to trust the other labels.
Live eBay listings
Checked again on a rolling schedule. Every sheet says how old its prices are, to the hour.

How the number is made — the long version.

Questions

Does it know what’s in my yard?

No, on purpose. It doesn’t track any yard’s cars, because it can’t know what’s on the lot today — and a guess would send you down a row for a car that got crushed last month.

What it knows is the car in front of you: what comes off it, what those parts are listed for, how long each one takes, and what other cars take the same part, so you know what to look for on the walk back.

Are these sold prices?

No. They’re asking prices, from used listings for sale on eBay right now. eBay keeps its sold prices to a short list of approved apps, and this isn’t one of them.

So the site says “asking” wherever it shows one, and takes a labeled cut off before it tells a reseller what they’d clear. It never calls an asking price what something is worth.

Does it work on my car?

906 models, from 1980 to 2027. Cars, trucks, SUVs and vans.

If yours is missing, every sheet has a button to ask for it, and we read every request.

What does it cost?

three full vehicle sheets a month are free, and every one you open stays yours for good. After that it’s a day pass for one trip, or a month at a time.

Looking up one part on one car is free, and always will be. What costs money is the whole car, ranked.

Do I need an account?

For a full car, yes — and not to get your money. Pricing a car nobody has looked up yet takes a fresh eBay search for every part on it, and there’s a daily limit shared by everyone on the site. Without accounts, one script could use it all up and knock pricing out for the people who paid.

One sample car is open to everyone, with no account at all.

What it costs

  • Free — $0 three sheets a month. three full vehicle sheets a month, yours for good, plus unlimited single-part lookups.
  • Day pass — $3.99 24 hours. Unlimited sheets for a day. Built for the trip you take twice a year.
  • Unlimited — $7.99 a month. Unlimited sheets, resell mode, price alerts and a trip log. Cancel in one click.
