Times are tought...Ideas about parting out?

Hi guys - I have been out of work for 3 years now and times are pretty tough. I am considering purchasing a few salvaged MB's and parting them out for some spare cash. I have the storage and tools, so I am interested in hearing some opinions on what are the best models to part out. What parts are in high demand? If you were going to part out some vehicles, what year ranges/models would you focus on?

I greatly appreciate any input?

w210 e class is definitely easy to part out. Especially the 98+ ones.

Excellent. The E55 is my daily driver so even if I cant part them out completely, nothing wrong with having a few extra parts on hand for myself.

Thanks!

W203 part outs are another good one.
