Chris's 10% Commission: $2.89
This game always sells well. I wish I could find it cheaper, but there is still profit to be made here even when I'm paying almost $10 for the game.

Wacom CTH-300 Wireless Bamboo Drawing Pad
Bought: $3.60 Sold: $34.99 Fees: $5.19 Profit: $26.20
Bamboo tablets often sell well, if you can get them for a good price. This is a very small version, so it doesn't sell for that much, but it was too cheap to pass up and it was still a very good ROI.

These were part of a large lot of military toys I picked up at an auction last year.

7 Pepsi Collector Series 1973 Looney Tunes Glasses
Bought: $11.00 Sold: $69.99 Fees: $9.59 Profit: $49.40
Chris's 10% Commission: $4.94
These glasses are pretty collectible and Chris managed to find almost the complete set. These sat in my storage for over a year because I just couldn't bring myself to package them up. I hate fragile things. I finally bite the bullet and listed them. The box was huge. They sold to someone in Toronto, which makes sense, because they would have cost a fortune to ship anywhere further. I am very glad they sold. Now just have to hope they arrive in one piece.

2 Disney Cinderella Glass Slipper Necklace
Sold: $4.99 Fees: $0.83 Profit: $4.16
Two or three years ago I purchased a bag of totally random things at VV. I was interested in one thing in the bag, but the rest was truly random. Instead of donating the random stuff back I listed everything to see if it would ever sell. Most of it has, although not all of it. These two necklaces were part of that random stuff so glad to see that they finally sold.
Palladium Books Presents Mindwerks Rifts Sourcebook
Sold: $9.99 Fees: $1.55 Profit: $8.44
This RPG book was part of a RPG books I purchased at auction in November. These are easy to photograph, list and ship, so always nice when I get a large lot of them cheap.
Family Circle Magazine May 1957
Sold: $4.99 Fees: $1.04 Profit: $3.95
This magazine was in a lot of old magazines that I purchased at auction a few years ago.

Russian Rails Board Game
Bought: $5.64 Sold: $99.99 Fees: $12.63 Profit: $81.72
I picked this board game up at VV while I was in Cornwall for work for a few weeks. This game is a crayon game, so called because you use crayons to make maps during the gameplay. There were none listed for sale on eBay, so I listed it for a high price that I would be happy with. It took just over a month to sell, which is not bad at all. I'll gladly take that.
4 Doreen Virtue Oracle Card Decks
Sold: $74.99 Fees: $10.19 Profit: $64.80
Chris's 10% Commission: $6.48
Last year Chris picked up a large number of these Doreen Virtue Oracle decks, which I sold off in lots. This was the last one to sell. At the end of the day these decks made a very nice ROI.

Read Pleaters Smocking Machine
Bought: $6.78 Sold: $174.99 Fees: $19.80 Profit: $148.41
Chris's 10% Commission: $14.84
When Chris found this at VV I had no idea what it was, but I saw that it sold well. I still don't quite know what it does - I believe it puts pleats in fabric. This sold to someone in Puerto Rico, so hopefully it arrives in one piece.

US Open 2021 Baseball Cap
Bought: $2.25 Sold: $19.99 Fees: $3.45 Profit: $14.29
Chris's 10% Commission: $1.43
I was a bit confused when Chris found this hat as the 121st US Open is not until next year, 2021. It turns out that some hats are sold when the announcement is made as to where the US Open will be in a few years. Not a huge sale, but it is all profit.

Vintage Tim Hortons Mug
Bought: $4.51 Sold: $24.99 Fees: $4.61 Profit: $15.87
Chris's 10% Commission: $1.59
Chris found this mug at VV, and while it was in pretty rough shape I knew someone would want it. There are a lot of Tim Hortons fans in Canada and they have long done away with this tim bit mascot.
Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine September 1980
Sold: $4.99 Fees: $1.04 Profit: $3.95
This is a short story magazine from the lot of 110 of these that I purchased earlier last year. These continue to slowly sell and I'm well into the profit now.
Ray Bradbury Martian Chronicles
Sold: $1.99 Fees: $0.73 Profit: $1.26
Sold: $1.99 Fees: $0.73 Profit: $1.26
I had two copies of this comic and they both sold within an hour of each other, which is very odd. I googled it and just an hour before the first sale it was announced that Ray Bradbury's short story The Martian Chronicles had been optioned as a TV series. So the two buyers bought this speculating that if the TV series is good than the comic will increase in value. I'm not sure about that seeing as the comic is just an adaptation of the short story, and the TV series is just another adaptation of that story. Still, I'd rather make my money now as opposed to waiting years to see if the TV series is any good and if it creates demand for this comic.
Lemax Spooky Town Octo-Swing
Bought: $67.79 Sold: $189.99 Fees: $21.97 Profit: $100.23
I found this at VV and I'm pretty sure it was unused. I paid up for it, but it had a great sale record. I bought this in August and was hoping it would sell for Thanksgiving, but I'll still gladly take the sale in February.
Four Harry Potter Chapter Games
Bought: $7.89 Sold: $39.99 Fees: $5.64 Profit: $26.46
Chris's 10% Commission: $2.65
Chris found these somewhat rare Harry Potter games at a thrift store. Sadly none of them were complete, but I figured someone may still want them. They've had a number of watchers, and a lot of people messaging me asking me to send them a photo of the instructions - I'm guessing they own it and lost them. I'm glad these finally sold.
