Bought: $3.38 Sold: $100.00 Fees: $0.00 Profit: $96.62
This was two sets of vintage Javelin lawn darts. The toy from the 80's that was recalled due to being dangerous to children. I acquired one set, the one on the left, from my grandfather when he moved houses and just recently my parents were cleaning out my old closet at their place and made me take it with me. The other set I actually bought at VV for $3, and it was unused. The problem with these toys is that despite being quite desirable, they are recalled and so they cannot be sold on eBay. People sell the boxes alone on eBay, and they go for a lot. I think they may just advertise as just selling the box, but then actually mail the darts with it. I don't know, but I didn't want to mess around with that. I found an ad from someone on Kijiji who was looking to buy them, and so I messaged him and asked $50 for each, and was eager to buy them. He claimed that he just enjoys the game and they are hard to find. Anyways, not a bad profit for a small investment, and considering these are quite hard to sell, I'll take it.
