25 Lots of Traveller RPG Books

Sold: $500.00 Fees: $68.05 Profit: $431.95

Someone purchased 25 lots of the RPG books that I got at the Glebe Garage sale. With this sale, I've currently sold over $1k worth of the RPG books, which I bought all of for only $200, and I still many left to sell. This was by far my best garage sale purchase ever.

I've sold this a few times before. Not a huge profit, but easy to list and it typically sells quickly.

Vintage Sealtest Popsicle Breaker

Sold: $24.99 Fees: $3.83 Profit: $21.16

This was an interesting find. I picked up three of these popsicle breakers that were still new in their original bags. I've had them listed for a couple weeks, and then all three sold within a couple hours of each other. The first was purchased by the son of the man who invented it (he messaged me to tell me), and the second was purchased by the grandson of the man who invented it (he also messaged me to tell me). They both bought it within minutes of each other - I assume one found it and told the other. The third sold a couple hours later to someone with a different last name and in the US, not Canada, so not sure if a relative as well, or simply coincidence. Either way, a very nice ROI and always nice to get three quick sales back to back.

When I saw this in a hanging baggie it caught my attention because it didn't look like any video game accessory I had seen before, and I have a pretty good worknig knowledge of vintage video game consoles. It turns out it is an accessory for the American release of the 3DO, a short-lived video game console launched in Japan in the 1990's. Apparently a number of games require this accessory to use, and so it's quite valuable. It sold in less than 12 hours, and for an amazing ROI.
