Bought: $2.25 Sold: $34.56 Fees: $4.75 Profit: $27.56
I've read that some puzzles, of which 3D ones are among them, are collectible. I've always been hesitant to buy puzzles, because one missing piece is going to prevent you from selling it. Unlike a board game which can often be sold missing parts, it is much harder with puzzles. Also, there are so many brands and makes of puzzles, that it just something I've generally avoided. That being said I have picked up three Puzz-3Ds now for different reasons - one was super vintage, one was a Lord of the Rings one, and this one which was from 1999 and of Yankee Stadium. I knew that this one would be collectible, and the only ones on eBay were new in the box for $50-75. I listed mine at $25 USD, and it sold in less than a day. I did my best to count all the pieces - which is rather hard with Puzz-3D puzzles as it is often hard to tell if something is a piece or not, but as far as I could tell it was complete. It had clearly been assembled and take apart in big pieces and put in the box. I am quite worried of getting a return because of a missing piece. If I do, I think I'll avoid puzzles ever again. This was an experiment, it had a good profit, but I may lose it all. We shall see.
