For a while I was buying all the Lilo stuffed animals I could find to give to my sister-in-law, but I've given her about 30 now and I figured I should probably start selling them instead.

Sold: $74.99 Fees: $13.53 Profit: $61.46

This came out of the storage unit of comics, posters and sculptures that I bought a number of years ago with Chris. I'm so glad that this sold, as it was taking up a lot of space.

Current profit off the wedding comic auction: $5,577.86

Monopoly Canadian Edition

Sold: $39.99 Fees: $6.12 Profit: $33.87

Daredevil Omnibus

Bought: $11.29 Sold: $64.69 Fees: $8.39 Profit: $45.31
Chris's 10% Commission: $4.53

This is a Marvel Omnibus, which is a hardcover large tomb that collects a run or series of a specific comic. I collect Marvel Omnibuses, and they are typically a good investment as they go out of print quickly and they tend to increase in price. I've always wanted to find one at a thrift store, but I've never had any luck.Chris, on the other hand, found this one. I already own a copy of this, so onto eBay it went. Not a bad ROI on this one.

Jughead Annual #3

Sold: $24.99 Fees: $3.95 Profit: $21.04

This comic is in rough shape, but it is from 1955 and so it still fetches a great price.

Sold: $9.99 Fees: $1.55 Profit: $8.44

I still can't believe that these are selling as fast as they are. I've now sold 3 lots of these.

Thomas & Friends Motorized Talking Toby

Bought: $0.00 Sold: $19.99 Fees: $3.81 Profit: $16.18

Another one of the Thomas & Friends trains sold. These are selling pretty fast. Maybe I shouldn't have waited two years to list them...

Mario Golf Nintendo Game Boy Color Game

Bought: $15.78 Sold: $19.99 Fees: $2.38 Profit: $1.83

This pretty embarrassing. Back in 2016 I purchased a bag of four game boy games at VV for $15, and apparently just forgot about them. I never listed them for some reason. I found them yesterday while looking for something else, listed them all, and this one sold within a few hours paying for the entire lot. 

Dances with Demons #1-4

Sold: $4.99 Fees: $1.04 Profit: $3.95

Current profit off the wedding comic auction: $5,481.03

20 X-Men Comics

Sold: $87.99 Fees: $10.55 Profit: $77.44

I love when someone buys a huge lot of comics. I only recently listed the box of X-Men comics that I got in the wedding lot a few weeks ago. Yes, these have been siting waiting to be listed for over 2 years now. This sale pushed this lot into the positive. So I only have 7 out of the 32 that have not yet made a profit, although I already more than doubled my money overall so I'm not worried.

Current profit off the wedding comic auction: $5,477.08

Vintage Banff Avenue Postcard

Sold: $2.99 Fees: $0.52 Profit: $2.47

Heroscape Heroes of Faerun

Bought: $16.94 Sold: $39.99 Fees: $5.50 Profit: $17.55
Chris's 10% Commission: $1.76

While looking for inventory to list I found a Heroscape box that I had forgotten about that Chris had purchased in 2018! Inside the box was actually three different sets, so I listed them separately. This was the cheapest set of the 3, and paid for the all of them. Not too bad. 

Twin Peaks VHS 1991 TV Series Pilot Episode

Bought: $0.00* Sold: $9.99 Fees: $2.77 Profit: $7.22

I haven't been able to source new inventory in over 6 weeks now due to Covid-19, so I'm been listing my death piles. I found this in one of my storage bins, and I have no idea where I picked this up or for how much. I don't typically sell VHS tapes but I saw that I could get $10 for this and I'm running out of things to list, so figured it couldn't hurt. It sold within a few weeks of being listed.

NERF N-STRIKE 35 Round Drum

Bought: $11.29 Sold: $14.99 Fees: $3.08 Profit: $0.62

Lions Club Low Quebec Button

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

I'm a bit surprised this sold. Low, Quebec is a very small community - it is where my cottage is. Maybe a few hundred people. Why would anyone be looking for a button from there? Even odder is that it sold to someone in Florida. 

1950s Postcard Camp Site Southampton Ontario

Sold: $2.99 Fees: $0.52 Profit: $2.47

Power Pack #29

Sold: $1.99 Fees: $0.73 Profit: $1.26

Current profit off the wedding comic auction: $5,394.97

Britains Toy Catalogue 1983

Sold: $14.99 Fees: $1.86 Profit: $13.13

Another one of the toy catalogues that was part of a large toy lot I purchased at auction last year. I think I ended up making more off the catalogs and other papers included then I did with the toys themselves. 

Batman Dark Joker The Wild

Sold: $8.99 Fees: $1.45 Profit: $7.54

Thomas & Friends Track Pieces

Bought: $0.00 Sold: $40.00 Fees: $0.00 Profit: $40.00
Chris's Commission: $4.00

After taking all the trains out, I listed all the track pieces locally just to get rid of them. They aren't worth enough to list online, and would be a pain to ship. I am already going to make a great return on my investment on the trains alone, so glad to get rid of these. Having the storage space back is worth it on its own.
