LOL lots of people like to "trade up" and or part out their car or they just have parts laying around that they dont need so they want to make some money off of them. I like it actually cause it saves me from having to pay twice the price sometimes

Nah I checked, there's a couple parts in the wrong section. Might be a great place to get the jump on some good deals

pretty sure he's asking why are people posting their PARTS for sale in the "CARS" for sale section.

or otherwise meaning that those posts should be in the parts for sale section.

Have you looked around at the economy lately?

Also, there has always been a lot of parts for sale daily in that section, it's difficult to tell (there seems to be to me) if there is an increase.
