Guides

Straight answers for parts sellers, yards and small firms

These guides answer what a yard, a parts seller or a small firm usually needs to know before hiring anyone: how to get yard inventory onto eBay without overselling, which yard system fits, what Below Standard costs, what custom software costs, and what a law firm’s website needs for accessibility. Each guide gives the short answer first, names the other options fairly, and lists its sources. I wrote them all, and I say so where I’m one of the options.
