Flipping Experiment #1: Comic and Anime statues, comics and posters - Month #6

October 17 - Cutie Honey CG Cy Girls
Sold for: $37.00 Fees: $6.82

Another figure sold. This one is similar to a barbie but is released by a company called BBI Blue Box. We were asking $50 but took a best offer of $37. It is being shipped to a mail forwarder in the States and the buyer is actually from Singapore.

The Numbers:
Initial Cost: $2,000
Number of items sold in October: 3
Number of items sold overall: 27
Gross Profit for October: $221.99
Fees to eBay: $28.25
Net Profit for October: $193.74
Net Overall Profit: -$166.16

Chris and I have each recouped $916.92 of our initial $1,000 investment so far.


October 5 - Lot of 6 Ms. Marvel (2006 2nd Series) TPB
Sold for: $149.99 Fees: $21.43

There was a number of trade paperbacks in the lot we picked up, but this was the only collected series (as opposed to random trades). This was the entire run of Ms Marvel by Reed in 6 trade paperbacks. Some of these are out of print, and it is almost a decade old at this point. If someone wanted to read this series, this is probably the only way it could be read without buying every single individual issue. Got a great value for these, and at the 6 month mark we are almost breaking even with only having sold 25 things.

October 12 - Three Trades
Sold for: $35.00 Fees: $00.00

We had a number of trades mixed in with the comics. We have them listed on eBay, but I also listed them on Kijiji. One guy bought these three for $35. Not a bad sale for these books, and nice to get some of these moving.
