Anyone want McDonald's?

Bought: $4.50 Sold: $26.20 Fees: $3.90 Profit: $17.80

When I saw this at VV, I thought that there was no way it had any value. A kid's McDonald's play food set, really? But a quick search of eBay showed that they sold, and for a decent profit. I quickly picked it up. This set had some wear, it only had 34 of the 37 pieces (which I was even shocked it had that many), and one of the bag's straps was ripped. It did have the original tag though. It sat for a while, almost a month. Then this morning I was listing another McDonald's play food set I had picked up (with even less pieces in it), and I was looking at this listing to compare when I noticed that the whole time the listing title was "McDonald's Play foot" instead of "food." After overcoming my embarrassment, I fixed the typo. It sold within 30 minutes of fixing the typo. Now I don't know if they are related, but anyone searching for McDonald's Play food would not have found my listing before. The odd thing is that this had a significant number of views, probably due to people searching McDonald's, and a half-dozen watchers, so it was being found. Anyway, I hope the second one I listed today sells soon.
