If they can be shipped they probably ship HAZMAT, best bet would be local.

I have been trying to sell a couple from my e36 M3 for a year now. No one wants them, not even for $10.

and yet we hear of them being stolen all the time … if worth stealing, then should be worth something to someone … ask at some of the body shops (especially any that seem a bit on the shady side)… I know they won't buy them, but they might know of someone that needs one

Seems to me spinal damage isn't a thing friends should do to one another.

I used to see them getting stolen when I worked at a BMW dealer in Los Angeles all the time.... E9x's would come in with missing steering wheel airbag and headlights (always HID)all the time-probably took the thieves a minute or 2 to take $3500 worth of parts

According to YouTube, compressed spines are all the rage.

I'm not sure about the legality of selling used air bags.

I DO know it is illegal at least in some states (like NY).

I also know they are ALWAYS considered HazMats for shipping purposes.

Unless you are familiar withe the HazMat regulations for shipping explosives, I don't recommend you ship them.

BTW... I am not sure there is a viable market for selling used airbags.

As I understand it, they are generally stolen as targeted thefts from pure identified vehicles, not as thefts of convenience. In other words, someone places an order for a particular make and model, and thieves cruise looking for that specific unit.

Just cause you've got one, doesn't mean anyone wants it.

PLUS, you've got to find a buyer for a commodity that is generally stolen. Do you have access to that market?
