Bought: $10.16 Sold: $69.99 Fees: $7.18 Profit: $52.65
A few weeks ago I was in VV and having no luck finding anything, so I took my time and walked up and down every aisle and was trying to see if there was a new area I could branch off into. I ended up looking at the bags, and there was a lot of them since it was back to school time, and I noticed a few that had what I thought were high end name brands. I saw two Columbia bags, this one and another, which I knew was a good name and the bags were interesting looking - they looked like they had been made to resembled down coats. One was a tote bag, this one, and one was a purse. They were both in great condition, so I took a chance and bought them. I tried researching them online and on eBay but had no luck at all. All I was able to find was an image on Google image search with the name I used in my listing (and this blog post's title) but nothing else about it. I had no idea how much it originally sold for, when it was sold or even if I had the right name. Robin, who knows a lot more about fashion than me, laughed at it and said it was hideous and that it would never sell for more than I paid for. While I normally tend to listen to Robin when it comes to fashion, I decided to trust my gut and list it high. I listed it for $70 with OBO preparing to take offers, but it sold for full price! This is not only a great sale because of the profit and ROI but also because I was totally out of my element and taking a chance. I hope that the purse eventually sells too...
Counter for things Robin said that will never sell that in fact did sell: 11
