Bought: $11.30 Sold: $52.32 Fees: $0.00 Profit: $41.02
This was an odd find at VV. I had checked the electronics section and found nothing in it, so kept going. I always double back just to make sure I hadn't missing anything, and upon doubling back I saw this at the power table (where you can check to see if electronics work). It was plugged in, and it was working. So clearly someone had found it - not sure where - and had brought it to test, and then left it. To be fair, it did have a bit of a steep price tag, but I grabbed it, and a quick eBay search showed me I was smart to do so. I got home and checked it, and it worked perfectly. This is a darkroom glow-in-the-dark timer. It allows you to be able to time how long photos have been in the various solutions without using a light to display the time, which would alter the photos. A pretty clever and simple design. It is vintage, but works great. It is heavy, and fragile to a degree. I hope that it survives both CanadaPost and the USPS, fingers crossed. Thankfully this was one of the five items I listed under eBay's 5-items-for-free deal, and so had no fees, which made it an even nicer profit.
