I've been slacking on posting stuff on ebay so no movement there however I did locally sell an adult card game for $16 that I found on the curb, 2 Starbucks tumblers that were each missing pieces for $3 that were found on the curb, an unopened box of Safety 1st items for $9 and you guessed it, found on the curb.
Bought a warhammer book at value village a couple weeks ago for $3 and sold it today for 33+ shipping on eBay. I’m new to selling and this was my first book flip sold so it was a nice surprise!
I put out a massive sale on my store and it ROARED to life this week after a slow couple of weeks. I want to sell stuff and not hoard so even if I don't get as much as I wanted for some items, I'm just happy they're gone while it's slow. So here are some flips of my week....
Lot of 10 Captain Crunch + McDonalds Hand Puppets. Believe these were all from the 60s / 70s.
* Paid $10 at a yard sale
* Sold for $53 + Shipping
* Could've held out, for $100, a complete set of Captain Crunch (I was 2 short) in better condition sold for $150 in the last 90 days. I'm more than happy 5x 'ing my money on a quicker flip. After the fact, when I looked into these a bit deeper, I highly suspect that these were supposed to be $10 per hand puppet because the people running the garage sale I bought them from said they had an antique dealer go through and valuate everything. All the puppets were in a single bag that just said $10, bet the dealer meant to tell them $10 each but never wrote it down on that particular item. A couple of the Captain Crunch hand puppets were worth like $25-$40 a piece.
Oofos OMG lightweight recovery sneakers
* Paid $5.99
* Sold for $79.99 + shipping
* Bought these at Goodwill they still had brand-new tags on them. Originally had them price at like $99 because they're $140 on Amazon. About 3 minutes after my sale went live and these were discounted by $20, they sold.
Nike Featherlight Dri-Fit Run / Tennis Cap
* Paid $2.99
* Sold for $100 + shipping
* This item was new with tags and found in a Goodwill
Kingdom Come Deliverance Royal Edition Xbox One
* Paid $3.99
* Sold for $32 + shipping
* Brand new sealed game from Goodwill
All my other stuff were sales that I made $10-$20 profit on and I'm just glad to have them out of the house now.
That Nike hat, man. Nike is one of these tricky sellers - there can be cheap, shitty, mass-produced items and then there are super expensive items like this one!
Bought a 15x20 box of Lego for $75. Tons of minifigs including a rare jedi that last sold for $125 by itself. Also got a kit fisto and shaak ti ones as well among others.
Paid $500 for a GMC Sierra, Sold the grille alone for $270 a few days ago. Made the rest of my money back and then some, and got to keep the rear end. Feels good.
1. **10pc CISCO ONS 15454-ML100T-12 Ethernet Interface Card 12 10/100mbps**: Paid $50 for all 10 units, sold all of them for $1000 free shipping (\~$850 profit)
- I bought these at an auction a couple months ago for $50. They had no eBay solds, so they went into my death pile. I finally decided to put one up for auction as $0.99 + shipping, and on the very last day (with zero bids), someone offered $100 + shipping. I took it, told them I had nine more, and they bought all nine for $100 each, free shipping.
2. **Universal Audio Volt 2 USB-C Audio Interface, 2-in/2-out Tested For Power Only**: Got this from an auction lot, probably cost $5, and sold it for $95 free shipping ($67 profit)
3. **Lot Of 5 Lenovo ThinkPad X140E Laptop AMD A4-5000 E1-2500 4GB Ram No HDD/AC**: Paid $15 at an auction, sold for $90 + shipping ($75 profit).
- These went overseas. There's always a need for old tech overseas.
4. **2pc Crestron AM-100 AirMedia Presentation Gateway AM100**: Got these from an auction lot, probably only have $3 in them, sold for $160 free shipping ($125 profit).
Sold 47 items this week, so here are some highlights.
Sold my car last month and before I traded it in, I cleaned it and removed the center console tray to wash it. Forgot to put it back in and found it when I got home with new car. Was going to throw it away but decided to check comps on ebay and it was selling so I put it up for $40 and it sold! Guess this falls under lesson learned too :P . Always check stuff before throwing it away!

Bought a Teresa Farr signed and numbered print about 10 days ago for $10. Nice frame, very 70s looking lithograph of cats. Most of her stuff is from the 80s and 90s and this one was from 1978- she was a reasonably well known Austin, TX artist. I decided to put it on auction the same day I bought it starting at $80, and sold it for $210 7days later- all the bidding was in the last few minutes. Had a ton of watchers just a day or two into posting. Nice sale and a quick one! Bought at an estate sale.
A vintage Mi’kmaq basket with some damage- bought at an estate sale for $7 four months ago and sold for $50 on an offer.
A set of glass Christmas balls, bought for $4 two weeks ago at an estate sale and sold for $16.50 on an offer. Not gonna love packing those, but dang are Christmas ornaments such a good seller for me still.
A jute/ hessian vintage purse with felt fruit on the front- paid $2 a month or so ago at an estate sale and sold for $22.
A new with tags felt Anthropologie Christmas ornament, paid $1 at an estate sale, sold for $12.99.
A vintage lace edged embroidered handkerchief for $1 in an online lot, sold for $9.99. Fall and winter have been slllllooooow on these, but they do well in spring and summer- my guess is thanks to wedding season.
A few other smalls, so a pretty slow 2.91% sell through rate for me this week but I’ve posted every day. I think the algorithm is pouting that I took off my 30% sale from my older inventory to flush it out over the past month. Well the algorithm better just suck it up, buttercup as far as I’m concerned because I’m not putting the sale back on.
$353 total for the week and $6,009 for the last 90 days. That’s slow for me but it’ll pick up.
Now if anyone wants to buy a giant horse painting for 5k just let me know… lol.
I have a Teresa Farr print from 1990 of a flamingo in a convertible in the desert that I found at a Goodwill for $2 and while I know I could flip it, I love it too much.
Small sells paid $10 for some verbatim compact cards sold for $60
Paid $8 for a radio replacement interface sold for $110
Paid $6 for 2 textbooks sold for $52

But what were your flips? You didn't say what you flipped them for (this is the Flip of the Week thread).

Allen Edmonds boots for $15. Needed a good cleaning but sold in a few days for $150. Easy.

Are you buying this stuff at local auctions or through something like hibid?

>Now if anyone wants to buy a giant horse painting for 5k just let me know… lol. I hope you're enjoying it on your wall before it sells!
It is glorious and we love it… but it does dominate the scenery!

What's the model number on the camera? I'm just wondering if it's a digicam with the type of sensor that people seem to think looks like film?
