Storage Locker #2

June 27th - Dresser

Sold for: $50.00 Fees: $0.00

Now that I have finally finished sorting through everything I'm able to get to the furniture pieces that were in the locker. I posted this dresser on FB and Kijiji last night and within minutes starting getting people messaging to buy it. I guess $50 for a wooden dresser is too cheap. I'm pretty happy with the price, and it moved quickly which was my main concern. I have another dresser to list still, and I'll ask a bit more for it. I sold it to the first person who messaged me, who apparently refinishes dressers, so I'm glad it's going to get maintained and probably resold. Also, it turns out that she works at the local young offender jail working with inmates with special needs, which is something that obviously hit close to home, so I'm glad I sold it to her. I sent her off with some children's DVDs from the locker as well for the kids at the jail.

The Numbers:
Initial Cost: $412.91
Number of items sold in June: 9
Number of items sold overall: 9
Gross Profit for June: $124.92
Fees to eBay: $12.30
Net Profit for June: $112.62
Net Overall Profit: -$300.29


I bought another storage locker, this one a lot larger and more full than the last one. This one was a 10x10 locker, and it was in Brockville. I won the locker for $201, but since it was in Brockville I had some additional expenses to get it all back to Ottawa. I am opening to double my investment, or maybe even make a grand. We shall see...

Expenses:
Locker cost + GST = $230
Buyer's Premium = $34.07
U-Haul Rental = $100.57
Gas = $50.27
Total cost = $412.91

June 10 - PS2 Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life Special Edition

Sold for: $9.99 Fees: $1.55

Another video game sold within a few hours of being posted, this one a PS2 game. 

June 10 - Lord of the Rings Battle For Middle Earth
Sold for: $24.99 Fees: $3.49

The first item to sell from the locker is a computer game. There was a box of video games, which were the first things I listed because they are easy to photograph and I don't need to package them until they sell since they have standard dimensions/weight. This one sold within a few hours of it being listed, so I'm off to a good start!

June 12 - Intellivision Lives PS2 Game
Sold for: $4.99 Fees: $1.04


Another PS2 game sold, this one a collection of Intellivision games.

June 14th - Lego Indiana Jones Game
Sold for: $4.99 Fees: $1.04

More video game sales!

June 18th - The Sims 2 Castaway
Sold for: $9.99 Fees: $1.55

Another video game sold! It's always nice to find video games as they tend to sell well if priced to move. All I've sold from this unit so far is video games, but that's because that's all I've posted so far.

June 19th - Lord of the Rings PS2 Game
Sold for: $4.99 Fees: $1.04

Another PS2 game sold. I really need to list other stuff so something other than video games can sell from this locker.

June 21st - Playstation 2 Jak 3
Sold for: $4.99 Fees: $1.04

Another PS2 game sold! I'm glad these are selling fast.

June 26th - Spartan Total Warrior Game
Sold for: $9.99 Fees: $1.55

I still haven't listed anything except for the one box of video games, so that is all that is selling so far.
