Marx Pinto and Corral Fence

Bought: $32.00* Sold: $180.00 Fees: $17.33 Profit: $130.67

About a month ago my mom asked if I would help to set up a yard sale at her church near my cottage. I agreed because she said I could grab anything I wanted as I was setting up before the sale started - how could I turn own the chance to grab stuff first. I was quickly put to work carrying boxes and boxes of books upstairs, but I noticed a few vintage toys which I quickly grabbed. I also found a few books and some comics. I gave them all the change I had, which was $32, and they were happy with that. I've decided to allot the entire $32 to the first item that sold, this one, and so when the rest sell they will be pure profit. This was the best thing I found. A vintage Marx Pinto and Corral, which included the box, the horse, the fence and all the accessories and it was in remarkable shape. It had a lot of interest right away, and it sold within 48 hours. It actually sold two weeks ago, but the buyer asked if I could wait until the following Thursday for him to pay, which I agreed, and then he paid by way of echeck, so I had to wait for it to clear much like a real check, which didn't happen until today. So it took a while to get paid, but I finally did, and it was a great sale. Sales have been slow recently so nice to get this money in today. I hope the other items I picked up sell soon, but if nothing else sells, $130 for a few hours of work is well worth it.
