World of Warcraft The Board Game

Bought: $19.76 Sold: $124.99 Fees: $15.68 Profit: $89.55
Chris's 10% Commission: $8.96

This board game is based on the popular video game. It is a very well received board game, and is quite popular, and has been out of print for almost a decade so it's valuable. Paid up for it, but it was well worth it for that ROI. 

Disney Character Story Boards Board Game

Bought: $5.64 Sold: $39.99 Fees: $6.89 Profit: $27.46
Chris's 10% Commission: $2.75

This board game is massive - the box is over 2 feet wide. Shipping to BC was almost as much as the game itself. I'm very glad that this giant box is out of my inventory. 

22 G.I. Joe Comics

Bought: $0.00 Sold: $74.99 Fees: $7.75 Profit: $67.24
Chris's 10% Commission: $6.72

One of the buyers who purchased some of the GI Joe comics yesterday purchased another 22, that I hadn't had a chance to list yet, for $75! This was a great sale with a nice profit. I still have another 30 or some GI Joe comics from this lot that I need to list.

Football Fever The Game

Bought: $6.78 Sold: $124.99 Fees: $14.65 Profit: $103.56
Chris's 10% Commission: $10.36

This board game is apparently very desirable. There was two editions of this game - one normal one, and one in a briefcase. The briefcase edition is much more valuable, and thankfully this was the briefcase edition. This was a great sale.

Captain Power and the Soldiers of Future Light Up Laser Blaster

Bought: $9.03 Sold: $74.99 Fees: $9.36 Profit: $56.60
Chris's 10% Commission: $5.66

This is a vintage toy blaster that was still in its original box. This had a great ROI.

Bought: $4.51 Sold: $9.99 Fees: $1.55 Profit: $3.93
Chris's 10% Commission: $0.40

Chris found this pencil case, which is from 1989, and figured it had to be worth money. It sold, and I made a profit, although not much of one.

Five Issues of G.I. Joe Comics

  

 
Bought: $55.97 Sold: $69.95 Fees: $10.69 Profit: $3.29
Chris's 10% Commission: $0.33

Chris was at VV and found a huge stash of G.I. Joe comics, about 50 of them. They were in rough condition, but he purchased them all. These five were five of the more valuable ones, and thankfully the ones in the best condition. I've only listed these five so far, and they paid for the entire lot. The rest, when they sell, will be pure profit. 

Phineas and Ferb Sorry Board Game

Bought: $5.64 Sold: $49.99 Fees: $6.67 Profit: $37.68
Chris's 10% Commission: $3.77

Chris found this at VV and I told him not to buy it since I figured there was no way this was worth any money. He got home and looked it up and saw that for some reason this edition was really hard to find online, and the ones he could find were selling for ridiculous prices. He went back the next day and it was still there. I listed it high, figuring I'd take an offer, but it sold for full price. I actually saw a copy of this at VV last week, but I didn't pick it up since I knew I had a copy already and that it hadn't sold in over a year I figured it was a bad buy. I now wish I had picked it up.

I've heard that fabric is often worth picking up if you can find it. I found 3 yards of this upholstery fabric at VV for $15. It is a vintage pattern, so listed it high and sat on it. It took a while to sell, but at almost $100 profit this was a nice flip.
