Zelda Nintendo Wii Bag

Bought: $5.99 Sold: $20.00 Fees: $2.11 Profit: $11.90

I picked up this bag at Salvation Army, where I don't normally find anything. It was in good condition and I figured a Zelda branded Nintendo bag would sell quickly. I finally got an offer today of $20 and I took it. Not a huge profit, but it moved the item.

Commissioned Sale: Three Minifigs

Sale Price: $10.00 Fees:$0.00 Profit: $10.00

My 70% cut of the Profit: $7.00

Chris picked up a bucket of action figures at a garage sale for $1. He decided to just pay for it himself and asked me to sell them on commission. He agreed to a 70/30 split. At the bottom of the container I found these three Lego Minifigs - Minecraft cave zombie, TMNT Raphael, and Lego Movie Emmett. These sell for about $5 each on eBay, but I couldn't be bothered to listed and mail them all, so I just listed all three in lot on Kijiji for $10 and had a buyer in an hour. A quick sale, and Chris has already made back his investment. 

Commissioned Sale: Mickey Cowboy Pin

Sale Price: $4.49 Fees:$2.28 Profit: $2.21

This is a nice Mickey Mouse cowboy pin. 

Avalon Hill Sports Illustrated Basket Ball Strategy Board Game

Bought: $14.68 Sold: $19.99 Fees: $2.90 Profit: $2.41

This is an Avalon Hill board game, and was actually my third oldest inventory item. I purchased this along with a number of Avalon Hill board games at VV, and didn't look each of them up. All of the other games were worth significantly more, so the higher price was worth it. This game barely made profit. I would not have bought this game now at that price. Glad it sold though and I made a small profit.

Swatch Fresh Papaya GO105

Bought: $10.27 Sold: $85.00 Fees: $8.78 Profit: $65.95

Chris' 5% Commission: $3.30

This is a really nice Swatch watch that Chris got at VV. I actually contemplated keeping this one, since I love orange and it was a nice big watch. I don't actually like wearing watches, however, and so it would just sit in a drawer somewhere, so better to sell it and make some money. I looked up the buyer since I have a theory that Swatches are sold predominantly to hipsters and the shipping address is in Brooklyn, but it turns out he's an artist. So, he may still be a hipster, but slightly cooler that he is an artist. 

Commissioned Sale: Minnie & Mickey Baseball Pin Set

Sale Price: $14.99 Fees:$3.63 Profit: $11.36

My 30% cut of the Profit: $3.41

I listed these two pins together, featuring Minnie and Mickey Mouse playing baseball. A nice cute little pair of pins.

Commissioned Sale: Three Disney Cruise Pins

Sale Price: $19.98 Fees:$5.39 Profit: $14.59

My 30% cut of the Profit: $4.38

The same person bought two auctions, which included three pins from the Disney Cruise Line. The one on the left is the pin for the inaugural voyage in 1998, and the two on on the left are the logo for the Disney Cruise in both color formats.
