Core Collective Marketplace™

Your Original VW Parts Are the Currency of the PRObuilt Future

Every day, the PRO’s at Airkewld professionally rebuild original German Volkswagen components, restoring the driving experience these cars were engineered to deliver.

None of this is possible without cores.

Your original VW parts are not scrap — they are the foundation of every PRObuilt system we produce. These components carry the geometry, metallurgy, and engineering integrity that aftermarket reproductions cannot replicate.

By participating in the Core Collective Marketplace™, you are helping preserve the DNA of Classic Volkswagens while receiving fair, transparent compensation.

This is not a scrap program.

This is a preservation program.

Why the Core Collective Marketplace Exists

Original German VW components are finite. Every beam, transaxle, arm, and spindle that can be professionally rebuilt extends the life of these vehicles for decades to come.

The Core Collective Marketplace allows owners, builders, and restorers to convert unused original components into:

• Cash
• Increased Airkewld store credit value
• Faster access to PRObuilt systems
• Participation in preserving original VW engineering

This creates a sustainable ecosystem where original components remain in circulation and continue serving future builds.

Payment Options and Payout Structure

We offer multiple payout methods depending on your preference for speed, value, and convenience.

This option provides the highest average payout and ensures accurate evaluation based on condition and completeness.

---

Option 2: Airkewld Store Credit (Maximum Value)

Choose Airkewld store credit instead of cash and receive:

+25% increased payout value

This option delivers the highest possible return and accelerates your next build by increasing purchasing power.

Most Core Collective members choose this option.

Option 3: Pre-Approved Immediate Payment (Limited Availability)

Immediate payment prior to receipt is available only for verified sellers and repeat Core Collective participants.

Pre-payment amounts may be adjusted to account for unknown condition risk.

Audit-first submissions consistently receive the highest payouts.

Small Components
Use sturdy boxes with no internal movement
Fill empty space with packing material

Control Arms and Spindles
A sealed 5-gallon bucket provides excellent protection

Secure assemblies to a pallet using ratchet straps, wire, or heavy-duty restraints
Freight terminal drop-off is preferred

Proper packaging ensures faster processing and maximum payout value.

Core Collective Inventory Status

Core acceptance and payout levels are periodically adjusted based on current production demand and inventory levels.

Submitting your cores while demand is high ensures maximum payout eligibility.

The Core Collective Marketplace prioritizes quality, originality, and rebuild viability over volume.

Why Original German VW Cores Matter

Every PRObuilt system begins with original Volkswagen engineering.

Aftermarket reproductions often lack the metallurgy, tolerances, and structural integrity of original components.

By rebuilding original VW parts, we preserve the driving experience these vehicles were designed to deliver.

Your cores enable this process.
