I've done it and it blows. I was left with doors, glass,bumpers - all the big things no one wanted or could ship. I also tried a few motorcycles and I concluded 1) I would never do it again and 2) when I added up the 100s of hours of removing parts, cleaning them, photographing them, storing them, packing them, and then shipping them I made around .73 cents an hour. Not for the faint of heart, someone who values their time, or somebody that wants to get rich - or even break even.
