You may be wondering how you would start a business where you are buying and selling online used Toyota parts. It is not as difficult as you think and you do not need to have inventory to start. You may never need inventory.
Developing a website is that place to start. Do it yourself, pay a service, or find a free online service. Begin with making one that advertises that you are selling difficult to find auto parts for Toyota and people can advertise on your site that they are looking for a certain part.
You will charge them price for displaying their listing of what they need. You then charge them when they find on your site what they are looking for.
To make this business work you will also be allowing people to advertise their hard to find used auto parts they have on your site.
If you want to make your site more appealing you can offer a data base for people to look for parts and find who is selling them. You do not reveal their location until a locator's fee is paid to you. Then you can give them all their contact information.
You have made a match between a buyer and seller. You can charge both sides for a finder's fee. You are offering a service that both of them need. You are helping both sides in a tough economic time.
