really find it odd, sell a lot of used car parts as a breaker, but hardly ever sell anything local. always posting parts to england scotland but in wales next to nothing.

Well, population of Wales compared to England is 3m to 53m. There's bound to be a higher percentage of English buyers - especially if you're selling online.

yes I agree some breakers around south wales, do charge some really high prices, not sure how they manage to stay in business, but they do.
and I also have seen {a few times} second hand parts asking price more than new.

I buy from ebay, the competetion on there seems to drive the prices down which is great for me. The stuff is sent out pretty quickly too
