Bought: $70.00 Sold: $90.00 Fees: $4.36 Profit: $15.63
I saw an ad on Kijiji for six vintage Star Wars die cast ships, and knowing Chris' friend collects Star Wars ships, I send the ad to him. He was interested in three of the six, and said it was a good price, but didn't want all six. He asked if I would buy them, sell him the three he wanted and flip the others. I knew I wouldn't make much profit on it, but I was willing to help him out, especially since he lives in Toronto and couldn't buy them himself. Of course the three he wanted were the more valuable/rare ones, but I gave him a deal for the three he wanted at $40.00. I then listed the other three as a lot on Ebay for $60. They sat for a while, but yesterday I got an offer of $50, which I accepted. The guy lives in town, and offered that he could save on shipping if he wanted to pick them up, but said it was easier to ship - fair enough. So, I made a bit of profit, but I did not go into this deal to make money, I was just trying to help out a friend, and am glad that I didn't lose money.
