14 Copies of 1953 Welcome to Canada Commonwealth Royal Tour Button

Sold: $49.96 Fees: $6.88 Profit: $43.08

I got a large number of these buttons in an auction. I listed them with an inventory of only 5, since I didn't want to seem like I had too many for sale. After the 1 sold yesterday, someone bought the other four today. I contacted this buyer and told her that I had more if she was interested, and she bought the remaining 10 I had as well. Pays to reach out sometimes.

6 Sealtest Jim Henson's Muppets Stirred Yogourt Containers

Sold: $80.00 Fees: $10.78 Profit: $69.22

These are yogurt containers from the 1990's. Sold by Sealtest for only a couple years, and only in Canada, these Muppets themed containers are pretty rare. These were part of a lot of fast food souvenir cups, and I wasn't sure if they'd sell, or for what price. I listed them for $100, and gladly took an offer of $80. This sale more than paid for the entire lot, and still left a very nice profit.
