This is an off-brand SNES controlled that allows you to set certain buttons on turbo mode - essentially allowing the remote to push the button for you. It is a helpful feature in some games.

Sax Playin' Santa Decoration

Bought: $9.03 Sold: $44.99 Fees: $7.39 Profit: $28.57
Chris's 10% Commission: $2.86

I was really worried that I was going to have to sit on this until next Christmas, but apparently not. Not sure whose buying Christmas decorations immediately after Christmas, but maybe theirs broke and they wanted a replacement. 

Wahl Clip-Pet Mohawk Razor

Sold: $19.99 Fees: $3.96 Profit: $16.03

This was among the lot of flea market items I purchased at a Kingston auction. Not super high dollar, but this lot has done very well for me.

Two Comics

Sold: $11.48 Fees: $2.22 Profit: $9.26

Marx Train El Capitan Santa Fe

Sold: $19.99 Fees: $3.29 Profit: $16.70

I purchased a large lot of vintage model trains at an auction earlier this year. This is the only one I've managed to list so far, and so I'm glad to see it sell. Hopefully the rest will get list, and sold, soon.

NERF Vulcan EBF-25 Replacement Ammo Belt Chain

Bought: $2.25 Sold: $14.99 Fees: $1.55 Profit: $11.19
Chris's 10% Commission: $1.12

Chris loves picking up Nerf items whenever he finds them, and while some sell well, others are not all that profitable. I'm glad these sold, but don't think I'd pick them up again.

Star Wars T-65 X-Wing Battle Quadcopter


Bought: $6.77 Sold: $29.99 Fees: $4.44 Profit: $18.78

I found this at VV and I wasn't sure what it was, besides obviously a ship from Star Wars. It was cheap enough that I bought it and decided I'd figure it out later. I realized this was a drone, and I didn't have the remote so I wasn't able to sell it. Also, a drone without a remote isn't worth much. I priced it for a price I was happy with, and it finally sold. I assume the buyer bought it to display.

Bruce Springsteen Button

Sold: $4.99 Fees: $0.83 Profit: $4.16

Revell Star Wars Model Kit

Bought: $11.29 Sold: $44.99 Fees: $6.28 Profit: $27.42
Chris's 10% Commission: $2.74

This model kit sold within a few weeks, which is always nice. Paid up for this one, so I'm glad that I was able to recoup the investment and make a profit quickly. 

Guitar Hero PS3 Les Paul Wireless Receiver

Sold: $44.99 Fees: $6.30 Profit: $38.69

Another of the Guitar Hero dongles that I picked up in Kingston last December. Once I got these posted, they sold quite fast. 

The Quest of the Philosopher's Stone Board Game

Bought: $7.50 Sold: $9.99 Fees: $3.12 Profit: -$0.63

This was part of a large lot of board games that I purchased back in 2016. At the time I divided the price up by game, but there were a few, like this one, that aren't worth much. I made a ton of money on the other games, so overall this is not really a lose. I'm just glad that this sold.

Grandfather's Estate: Bridge Computer Games

 
Sold: $79.98 Fees: $14.34 Profit: $65.64
My 50% Commission: $32.82

My grandmother was/is an avid bridge player. Among my grandfather's stuff were these two bridge games, which I assume my grandfather bought my grandmother to play. These had a surprisingly good resale value.

Grandfather's Estate: Calendar

Sold: $19.99 Fees: $3.61 Profit: $16.38
My 50% Commission: $8.19

My grandfather was a big Blue Jays fan, and in his collection was this 1992 Shoppers Blue Jays calendar celebrating their World Series win.

A&W Watch

Bought: $3.15 Sold: $35.00 Fees: $5.27 Profit: $26.58
Chris's 10% Commission: $2.66

Chris found this watch at VV. I couldn't find anything about it online, or any comps. I assume this was given to manager's of stores, or something similar. I was asking $50, but after being listed for over a year without any interest I was glad to take $35.

Ghostbusters Stay Puft Marshmallow Man

Sold: $19.99 Fees: $3.72 Profit: $16.27

This action figure was part of a lot I purchased recently. 

Air BC Lapel Pin

Sold: $4.99 Fees: $0.83 Profit: $4.16

Cartoons and Gags Magazine

Sold: $14.99 Fees: $2.07 Profit: $12.92

This adult cartoon magazine is one of the last ones from the Kemptville lot. 

12 Issues of Mad Magazine Super Special

Sold: $34.99 Fees: $5.03 Profit: $29.96

This a lot of 12 issues of Mad magazine that was part of a large lot of Mad magazines I purchased at auction earlier this year. I don't think I'd buy Mad magazines again, they aren't that profitable.

Joseph and Mary Blow Molds

Bought: $45.15 Sold: $80.00 Fees: $0.00 Profit: $34.85
Chris's 10% Commission: $3.49

Sold these two blow molds. This is probably the last day I'd be able to sell these this season. Chris bought four nativity blow molds at VV - these two and 2 wise men - for the $45. So the two wise men will be pure profit when they sell,but that likely won't be until next Christmas at this point.

Jurassic Park Comics

 
Sold: $7.98 Fees: $1.87 Profit: $6.11

I've almost sold out of the Jurassic Park comics, which is a great thing!

Current profit off the wedding comic auction: $4,711.19

Three Buttons

 
Sold: $19.97 Fees: $3.00 Profit: $16.97
Chris's 10% Commission: $0.84

The Nancy Drew Mystery Board Game

Sold: $99.99 Fees: $11.55 Profit: $88.44

I bought this at auction last year. This is a rare board game that is highly sought after, but this copy was in very rough shape and not complete. A complete copy in good condition could bring closer to $200.

Rock Band Receiver

Sold: $29.99 Fees: $4.43 Profit: $25.56

Another of the Guitar Hero dongles I bought last December sold - I guess it helps to get things listed if you want them to sell.

Molson Molstar Award Ski Pin

Sold: $4.99 Fees: $0.83 Profit: $4.16

5 Issues of Warriors of Plasm

Sold: $13.99 Fees: $2.48 Profit: $11.51

Sold the last remaining issues I had of this Defiant series. Not a huge profit, but glad to see this more obscure comic series sell.

Current profit off the wedding comic auction: $4,705.08

Five Lapel Pins

 
Sold: $9.98 Fees: $1.66 Profit: $8.32

Dr Seuss Grinch Hand Stand Decoration

Bought: $14.68 Sold: $59.99 Fees: $7.80 Profit: $37.51
Chris's 10% Commission: $3.75

I didn't get this listed until the first week of December, so I wasn't sure if it would sell this year, but I'm so glad that it did so I don't have to store this large item for the near year. It sold to someone in Texas, so it is not making it there before Christmas - I guess they are getting ready for next year.

Ireland Lapel Pin

Sold: $4.99 Fees: $0.83 Profit: $4.16
Chris's 10% Commission: $0.42

3 Seishinsha Calendars: 1999 2000 2001

Sold: $10.00 Fees: $2.36 Profit: $7.64

These are 3 calendars featuring the same anime series. These were part of the large storage locker purchase I made with Chris a number of years ago. I wasn't sure if these would ever sell, so I'm very glad to see them move. 

B.C. Museum of Mining Lapel Pin

Sold: $4.99 Fees: $0.83 Profit: $4.16

Two Nintendo Wii Guitar Hero Guitars

Sold: $50.00 Fees: $0.00 Profit: $50.00

These Guitar Hero guitars were at my cottage, but since we never play with the Nintendo Wii at the cottage anymore my parents gave them to me to get rid of. I decided I didn't want to list them on eBay and deal with shipping them, so I listed them locally on Facebook Marketplace and Kijiji. I had someone contact me from Toronto asking if I would ship them, so I ultimately did end up mailing them, but since not through eBay there was no fees.

Ferrari Agusta A109 Hirundo Helicopter Diecast Model

Bought: $11.29 Sold: $49.99 Fees: $6.58 Profit: $32.12

Found this at VV only a few weeks ago. There wasn't any comps really, but it is a well made diecast and I figured it would likely sell, and it did quite quickly. This was a nice flip.

Carleton University Orientation Pinback Button

Bought: $0.00 Sold: $9.99 Fees: $1.34 Profit: $8.65
Chris's 10% Commission: $0.87

This was bought by a woman locally who went to Carleton in University, as did her husband and her daughter is there currently and they are planning on taking a photo at Christmas of them all in their Carleton garb. It's nice sometimes to get a buyer emailing explaining why they bought something.
