Superfection

Bought: $4.51 Sold: $29.99 Fees: $3.01 Profit: $22.47

This is a vintage board game that Chris picked up for me at VV. It is a variation on the game Perfection, except that instead of placing shaped objects into their respective holes you need to match two matching shapes to form a square. I am not sure why this game has such an appeal, but it seems to sell consistently and even when not working - most of the listings had issues of some kind. Mine worked, although it popped up a few seconds before the timer was completed, which I guess just makes it a bit harder. Almost immediately after listing it, someone from the Philippines messaged me asking if I could meet their friend who lived in Richmond Hill to save on shipping. I explained that Ottawa and Richmond Hill were not actually that close, but if their friend was in Ottawa they could do local pickup. After some back and forth, he just had it shipped to his friend in Richmond Hill. His account is for a large online game company based out of the Philippines, so he is clearly a legit buyer. Not sure what he plans on doing with this - whether he is going to keep it or try and resell it. Either way, it was a fast sale with a good ROI.
