Bought: $0.78 Sold: $34.60 Fees: $3.96 Profit: $29.86
This may be my best ROI to date, I paid less than a dollar (it was 99 cents before a 30% off discount) and I made almost $30 on it. This is a very simple children's matching game from the 80's. So why is it worth so much? Because it was made in West Germany - which makes it rare, especially in complete condition. If you found a game made in East Germany I'm sure it would go for even more. This just goes to show how important it is to take your time and look up anything you don't know. This to me just looked like a children's game from the 80's, but for a dollar I figured it would be worth looking up, and am I ever glad I did!
Interesting side note. One of the few other people selling this on eBay was a seller from Ottawa, who has a store with almost 2,000 items and clearly does it full time. She has become my nemesis, and I obsessively check her store and sold items to see how much better than me she is doing. It is even more odd that a rare game from West Germany ended up with two copies in Ottawa.
