An old power cord

Bought: $12.11* Sold: $26.66 Fees: $2.43 Profit: $12.12

Chris had an old Mac Mini from undergrad that he used sparingly and it died recently. He trashed the computer but asked me to sell the power cord for it and we would split the profit. So, I got the item for free, it sold for $20 USD, and we split the profit (the bought amount is Chris' portion of the sale). Mac items always sell well, as they are expensive to buy and people would prefer to buy used working items as opposed to cheap Chinese knock-offs. A quick easy way to make some money on an otherwise useless object. Always nice when I don't have to pay for an item either.
