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.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
