Bought: $79.02 Sold: $185.00 Fees: $14.38 Profit: $91.60
Marvel Legends is a line of action figures that is released in waves. Each wave includes 6 or 7 characters, and once the wave is discontinued they are no longer manufactured. There are 3 or 4 waves a year. Each wave includes a Build-A-Figure (BAF for short) that is made up from one piece included in each figure in that wave. So in this wave, wave 3, if you bought all 7 figures you had 7 pieces that can be built together to build the Hulkbuster BAF. I know about these due to my brother who collects them. They generally run $25-35 retail each, but can vary in price due to popularity and rarity. I managed to find all seven figures from the wave - so the complete wave - at Winners for $10 each. I had a couple options on how to sell them: the Hulkbuster alone sells for $75 - 100, and then I could have sold the figures individually without the Hulkbuster pieces, or I could have sold each figure separately but unopened, or I could have sold all 7 together, which is what I chose to do. This sat for a few months, but I knew it would only go up in price, and I knew that I couldn't lose my investment. I'll take a $90 profit anyway.
