Sale Price: $39.99 Fees: $4.59
Overall Lot: Bought: $78.87 Profit to date: -$43.47
Chris picked up three big bags of Heroclix figures at VV for $78. He called and asked me and I tried to do some quick research, but it was hard without knowing which figures they were, so I told him to take a risk and get them. After sorting through them, I wasn't sure I would break even. I had almost 80 figures, but most sell for abut $1 each and the idea of listing 80 different items for $1 profit each is mind numbing. I decided to list two sets, both of ones that were still in their packaging and both themed around the Marvel Infinity Gauntlet series. One lot had 6 figures, one had 5. I listed one for $40 and one for $30, in the hopes that if both sold I will have almost broken even, and I can sell the rest for cheap and just recover my money. I've accepted this was a bad buy, or at least a bad buy to flip into more money, and now I'm just trying to recoup as much as my investment as I can in the least amount of work. The larger of the two lots sold, so I've recouped just under half my investment. I think I'll post the rest of the pieces on Kijiji and Facebook buy/sell groups for $50 and see if I can just move them quickly that way.
