Meccano Special Edition

Bought: $4.50 Sold: $26.20 Fees: $4.17 Profit: $17.53

This was an obvious grab, especially at under $5. I was really hoping it was complete, but sadly it was missing a few pieces. A complete set would have sold closer to $50. Nonetheless, it was a good grab with a decent profit. This set isn't that old, from 2006, but it was limited edition and the pieces were made to look more vintage. There wasn't a lot of them on eBay when I listed mine, and it had a number of watchers and views, so it appears to be a desirable item. Meccano sets are typically a good buy if old enough. I'd normally stay away from something so new, but the limited edition nature of it, and the significant quality improvement over their typical stuff made it an obvious choice to grab.
