Transformers Backpack

Bought: $5.00 Sold: $40.10 Fees: $4.49 Profit: $30.61

I was in Brockville with Robin and I wanted to visit the Goodwill there, and she went to meet a friend for lunch, so I had some free time. This was the first time I had ever been in this GW, and I was eager. Sadly, I didn't find much. All I found was this backpack hidden in a back corner. It had a tag for 2008, so not vintage, but still very cool looking and in good shape. The cashier looked at it and asked me if it was vintage, I think she was concerned it was priced too low. I checked on eBay and Google, but I couldn't find a listing for this bag anywhere. Not that this is a surprise as an eBay search for Transformers backpack brings up 100s of results. I had Chris over last week and he was helping me sort stuff and take photographs and he loved this bag, and said I had to list it for $40. I wasn't sure, and was going to be conservative and list for $20, but I took his advice and allowed for offers. I got an offer of $30 and took it. That was $10 more than I expected to make, and was very happy with the ROI on this item. I guess I should keep Chris around - not only does he help with sorting and listing, but he also often makes great finds for me at VV.
