Out of pure curiosity... may I ask a few questions?

1. How long was the entire process of driving to the Goodwill, rummaging through the stuff and buying this?

2. How much did it cost to post on eBay?

3. How much did it cost to ship priority?

In other words, what was the relative cost of your time versus the profit margin?

 

Not being sarcastic, just wondering if done on a much larger scale if there's a chance to eek out extra income...

If you're willing to do the work, I'd be willing to finance part of the operation if the ROI was right.

I pass Goodwill On the way home from work stop by 3-4 times a week, I can scan an entire Goodwill in 15 minutes.

2. How much did it cost to post on eBay?

Listing is free when the item sells they get a percentage not sure the amount

3. How much did it cost to ship priority?

A box for the truck and postage around $9

In other words, what was the relative cost of your time versus the profit margin?

I answered your questions in the quote but I do this as a hobby, the money I make I use it to pay for Christmas. I have competition as well, 70% of the time I walk out empty handed.

I would've bolded my responses but I'm posting on my phone.

      Known Prospect Meetings with Panthers

      Taking only players from the sheet that are realistically available in or after the listed round, I’d like… 1st: DT Caleb Banks (Styles not realistic) 2nd: LB Jacob Rodriguez 3rd: OT Best available from Bowry, Barber, and Casey 4th: CB Daylen Everette 5th: S Jalen Huskey 6th: RB Adam Randall 7th: IOL Best available from Lemieux, Dawkins, Leausa, and Brose   I know nothing about some of the players listed, but it seems like that would be the best way it could fall for now. I’m sure the list of who we meet will change a ton, and there will also be players we don’t meet with to keep quiet. I’d love to pick up Randall in the late rounds.

      Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think

      Not what I said. They know within the building why we aren't utilizing TEs more. If the rumors were true that we were seriously pursuing a couple of decent receiving TEs that strongly points toward a lack of quality receiving TEs currently on the roster. Does that mean we consider drafting one at 19? I don't know, but it wouldn't shock me and if we did there's only one guy it would be. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see TE drafting somewhere in the first three rounds.

      Yeah, I don’t know. Tepper was behind the Bryce selection. Behind firings and hiring over his lack of development.  He doesn’t have to literally tell them their hands are tied for them to know this. It is in the air constantly. The Canales Bryce play calling was even portrayed by more than one person as Canales failing Bryce, instead of Bryce being responsible for his own performance (except when he does well, then it is all him). Now they have an extra coach in, to help the new OC get results from this QB.  The atmosphere is not welcoming to prototypical young QBs that have talent. You get Jake Plummer types or old vets. I think we are stuck.
