1985 Radio Shack 4x4 Off Roader


Sold: $119.99 Fees: $17.67 Profit: $102.32

I recently purchased a lot of random toys at an auction for $120. This was one of the items in the lot. When I was bidding on the lot I just ignored this item, mainly because I wasn't able to determine enough information from the photograph to be able to identify it and I assumed that it likely wouldn't work. So when I finally got around to looking this up I was pleasantly surprised at what it sells for, and even more happy when it sold within a week. This sale paid for almost the entire lot on its own.

 I picked up a lot of VHS tapes at auction as VHS tapes are making a come back in popularity. I listed 9 of them on eBay for $200, and I listed the rest locally on FBM as a lot for cheap. Someone messaged asking to buy just four, so I sold them to him for a $1 each.
