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.

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Basbear · Posted

      I mean the whole defense was trash, he was at least trying. Besides if you put a all-pro among 10 PSers, that all-world will look human. It's very hard to judge very bad units and find the best players among them. Horn and Mjack played well too, there was 0 pass rush and -1777784 run defense.

      Getting an early start this year...

      By Basbear · Posted

      I was looking back and seen Evan Neal has made the switch to OG after awful years at OT.......I wanted him over Icky for his tricep alone..... I was 100% stroud too, I was super pissed about his record setting and playoff leading start......I had arich vastly over the midget BY too. But right now, BY is about the only one on the up&up. The Texans used lots of prime draft capital to help Stroud.  It's still not ready. But if you're honestly about past drafts, these GMs are not alone in making mistakes.  I still feel they should stayed put and allowed Carter to fall in their lap, but best I know Tepper had the worst rage about landing a QB for the past 5 years. The deal is with the correct coaching staff, Baker or darnold would still be here....Baker has signed 3 years for 100 million, which is a great NFL QB contract. Tepper hiring rhule and his shitty Baylor/temple staff was a massive setback given rhule was in control too. Then panic set in an d fitteerererererer had to make a winner and find a QB. Ugh.....I hope they are back...

      Also maybe the biggest part is his fromer college buddy, Lord Lamar told the GM to sign him. It was done nearly right after and guess who was the first person Alexander met at ravens stadium??
