Bought: $6.78 Sold: $12.55 Fees: $3.10 Profit: $2.67
So this was a mistake on a number of levels. The first problem was that I wasn't able to find this set when I was in the store but saw that it was from 2008, so I figured a 10 year old set was worth grabbing despite the price. I probably should have left it at this price. The second problem was that the set was not complete (notice the missing tired on the Jeep?). The third problem was that once I identified the set I realized it only sells for about $40 when complete. I decided to list it cheap at $25 just to get it sold. The fourth problem arose when I forgot to change the cost of shipping and it was left set to my standard $5 for comics, so the person bought this for $25 + $5 shipping - when shipping actually cost me $17.50! So I lost $12 off the already low $25 I was asking. In the end I made enough to buy a coffee...
Live and learn. Really though, a bigger profit than some comics. Hope it was a good coffee.
