Lost Dongles

Bought: $4.51 Sold: $9.30 Fees: $1.73 Profit: $3.06

Various flipping blogs have mentioned how certain video game parts are worth picking up because they sell well and can often be found cheap. This is one of those items. It is a USB wireless dongle that allows players playing DJ Hero to connect their turntable wirelessly to the video game system. The reason that they sell is quite simple: lose this one small piece, and you can't play the game. It's obviously cheaper to buy just the missing part as opposed to the game all over again. VV has a section where they sell random wires, chargers and the like. I found this there, and while I would have liked to have gotten it cheaper - VV clearly knows these are popular items - I still made a small profit of it. I don't feel so bad making a small profit off something like this. It is a small item with a small target sale price. If I see these for under $5, it is likely worth the purchase as it is almost a guaranteed sale.
