Star Wars Personal Multimedia Collection CD-Rom

Bought: $2.25 Sold: $29.99 Fees: $4.19 Profit: $23.55
Chris's 10% Commission: $2.36

This was an interesting item. It's a CD with audio and video files from Star Wars that was meant for people to use on their computers. It's dated software, and probably wouldn't even run on modern operating systems, but it's a unique item. It's also Star Wars which has a large fan base. This sold to someone in Portugal, which is my first sale to that country.

Malecki’s Polka Brand Sausages Advertising Deck of Cards

Sold: $9.99 Fees: $3.26 Profit: $6.73

This was a deck of cards that was in a random lot of items I got at an auction. They were advertising for a sausage company called Malecki's. I couldn't find much information on the company, but I had them and figured I might as well list them. They sold to a brand new eBay user whose last name is Malecki, so quite likely is a relative of the owner of the company, so that's cool. Glad this is going to back to the family.

Creepy #52


Sold: $9.99 Fees: $1.51 Profit: $8.48

This is the last Creep comic I had. With this sale, I sold out of all the comics from this particular lot from the auction. I have now sold out completely of 3 of the 32 lots. I still have a lot of comics to sell. This particular lot - which contained all the Creepy, Eerie and Vampirella comics - was the most expensive from the entire auction. I paid $907 for this lot, and I made a gross profit on the lot of $1,261.32, leaving me with a net profit on this lot of $353.93. Not the best return on my investment, but this lot brought a lot of buyers to my store, and it's still a nice profit. I probably wouldn't have bought this lot if it was the only lot I was buying, but as part of the overall purchase it was well worth it.
