so what do you guys do with parts you just cannot sell?

i have been mulling this over for a long time..
i have a ton..a ton of porsche parts.
mainly 944 and 924 parts .
I have had little success with selling any of it anywhere..i list it on ebay, no bids at giveaway prices...literally.
So i lose $$ to ebay. I put ads on rennlist every so often only to get "got pics?" and " those calipers are dirty" remarks(as if they would buy them anyway)
I offer to have people come route thru my barn and buy stuff cheap (like 944 hatches for $10, 944 t calipers fopr 75 each and the complete 944t brake swaps for like 300) but no one ever buys anything and hardly a reply
...yet if some of the "clique" list the same part..they get 5 times what i ask (and my stuff is as good or better?)
this is getting old as i pay rent on the barn and don't need to if i cannot get it back in selling the parts (not a profit, i keep my car/bike in there)
i have aproximately 200 porsche or vw factory wheels
so I am at a quandry.., i am tired of trying to sell this stuff and i cannot even give it away
at what point do i begin contemplating recycling all my aluminum and scrapping all the suspensions for steel..i expect that i might get $500 out of it after gas and what not.
i get tired of the whole pictures thing..i have spent literally hours taking pictures to sell nothing..spent hundereds on ebay with no sales on most(even starting at $1 no reserve).
what do i do with the interiors?
7 years ago this stuff was worth a ton, but now the cars are owned by bottom feeders like the 914's were in the 90's...
frustrated
