Bought: $7.90 Sold: $20.15 Fees: $2.70 Profit: $9.55
McFarlane Toys makes a lot of action figures - for comics, TV shows, movies, and sports. They have baseball, football and basketball figures. Like any collectible, they are released in waves (a set amount at one time) and they eventually go out of print. This is the Willie Mays figure from the 2nd wave. These things are collectible to some.
I found five of these in a VV, and got them for just under $8 each. I knew that I wouldn't make a killing off them, but they are collectible, they should sell, and if I sell all 5 that is a $50 profit, Part of me, the collector part, understands that these things have value to certain people, and I just couldn't leave these behind. I wanted them to go to someone who would actually appreciate them and wanted them. There is a difference in someone finding this at VV and thinking it is cool and buying it, and someone who is searching for this exact figure to complete their collection. Part of why I enjoy what I do is that I get to get collectible items to collector's, it feels good.
