I have had good luck selling grills and tail lights from the last generation SAAB 9-3's.

Hush.  That's one of my money makers.  SAAB body parts go fast for dumb money.

It seems like a lot of modern headlights/taillights are big money these days, I know a knockoff brand taillight for my wife's Traverse was around $200 for one side. I'm sure some quick and easy money could be made that way.

Can I make requests laugh? Brake backing plate for a 7th gen Celica gt-s (2000-2001). 

But in all seriousness, oe parts required for certain engine swaps in enthusiast chassis

Strolling the junkyard today for a dash for my Mustang and found a 2004 Mustang 40th anniversary edition. 2004s with the anniversary edition option came with the painted folding Cobra mirrors. 

These mirrors regularly sell for $500-800 on eBay and I grabbed them for $40.

I once ran into a seller that would go to the local pick and pull and harvest parts that he knew were in demand. He would remove them and stash them in the trunks of nearby cars. The result was that he had an inventory of parts that he could post on Facebook that had not cost him anything.

When people scheduled a visit to buy, he would run down to the yard and pay for the part and hopefully sell it a few hours later at a profit. Retail sales at their best. I was not sure if I hated what he was doing or admiring the business plan.

Works up to the point where they crush that one car.
