Four Model Sets

Bought: $15.76 Sold: $79.50 Fees: $7.16 Profit: $56.58
Chris' 5% Commission: $2.83

These are four military model kits Chris picked up at VV. All the boxes were opened but they are all brand new and still sealed inside. These are all older models, probably bordering on vintage. I listed them all individually, and someone made me an offer on one, it was a low offer, so I countered. He replied that he also lived in Ottawa, would be willing to pick up and pay in cash (save me shipping an save some eBay fees) and that he would make an offer on a few others. He made me an offer of $62 for three of them, and I asking $90. While 2/3 of my asking, I was glad to make that profit and move them so quickly. He messaged me the next day making me an offer on the 4th, and so I sold all four for just under $80. A great return and they moved fast. He also told me to let him know if I come across any other models, complete or not, as he will likely either buy them himself or knows someone who would be interested. I tend to stay away from models that aren't sealed just because so hard to tell if complete or not, but he said that some buyers will buy incomplete sets for parts if cheap enough. It is something to keep in mind.
