Small Portable Miniature Chessboard

Sold: $14.99 Fees: $2.52 Profit: $12.47

This was in a hanging baggie that I purchased for something else, and decided to list this as well. It actually sold in just over a day, so maybe I priced it too low? Also nice when the extra stuff in a baggie sells quickly, before the item you purchased the bag for sells, and covers the entire cost of the bag,

Carcassonne

Bought: $11.29 Sold: $30.00 Fees: $0.00 Profit: $18.71

I picked this up at VV. It's a game I own already, but it is a very popular game and I knew it would sell fast. It was surprisingly still new and sealed, so it sold within an hour of me listing. I decided to sell it locally on FBM to save on fees and avoid having to ship it. I knew that it was popular enough that it would sell quickly, and I was right.
