Sale Price: $74.99 Fees:$12.47 Profit: $62.52
My 50% cut of the Profit: $31.26
Among the things Chris asked me to sell for him were three watches, this being one of them. It is a simple watch that features the Penguin Books logo. The watch itself is nothing special with a simple leather band, but I was unable to find any information on a penguin watch. While Penguin Books does seem to sell merchandise, it is usually mugs, bags and clothes. I was unable to find a watch for sale anywhere. I figure it may have been made for employees. Regardless, Chris thought I was crazy to ask $75 for it, but I figured if someone was interested they could make an offer. I received a message from someone in the UK who wanted to buy it - at full price - but wanted to know if I would ship to the UK. With shipping for tracking being $48 I thought he might balk at that, but he gladly paid. So not a bad sale, and even only taking 50% I still made a nice profit.
