Care Bear Countdown!

Bought: $9.00 Sold: $19.83 Fees: $3.39 Profit: $7.44

This was a set of twin sheets (fitted and flat) from 1981. They were a bit worn, but they are vintage and knew they would sell for something. When I got them home from VV, I was able to look at them closer and noticed two small stains on the fitted sheet (as Robin said: ewww!!!), so I listed them slightly lower than I would have otherwise.

A woman made an offer within the first day, and despite asking $20USD, I accepted $15USD.

I didn't make a huge profit, but a flip within 24 hours is nice, especially now when I'm still learning and trying to make sales and increase my eBay rating. The fact that VV had these sheets marked up higher than most sheets ($3.99 each), and the fact that they were stained hurt me. I normally list single sheets for $14.99 or $19.99 depending on the vintage/rarity. For a set, I'd normally list at $29.99. I will be sure to keep an eye out for more of these in the future.
