Sale Price: $49.99 Fees: $6.37 Profit: $43.62
This was a lot of 5 Lucky Luke comics. They are in French, and from the 1960's and 1970's. The lot these came from had a large number of French comics, but also a handful of English ones. The lot was very cheap (ended up winning it for under $20), so I took a chance figuring that someone in Quebec may want some of the French comics. Most, if not all, the sellers of these french comics on eBay are from France and so shipping to Canada is expensive, and so if there was a potential buyer in Canada they would prefer my shipping costs. Combined with that I also severely undercut the market on these comics and sold as a lot to try and move them quickly. Despite this, a buyer in France messaged asking if I would ship there, and despite the absurd cost of $50, they bought them! This sale paid for the whole lot and then some, so that is my 5th out of 32 lots that are now in the black. Even if none of the other French comics sell, and only the English ones do from this lot I'll still be in profit. Also, this sale was in under 48 hours, so that is reassuring.
Current profit off the comic auction: -$3,217.81
