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.

      Trade Deadline Talk

      You guys are just going to have to accept the fact that Dan Morgan is a mid GM best case scenario currently. I used to have people get very belligerent over defending Scott Fitterer too. And that's not hyperbole. People used to go to bat for that guy like he was blood related. We have a truckload invested in the OL and what do we have to show for it? The whole unit is already banged up including one of our big signings. Even without all that the group has largely take a step back from last year in pass protection. Then you get to the QB room and there's only two conclusions you can make about Dan Morgan. Either he deliberately ignored it two years in a row on his own accord or he took orders from Tepper to do so. Either scenario says he's not fit to be an NFL GM.

      Is Canales digging his own grave?

      Frank, ceding control of the defense in no way verifies that Tepper told Canales to bench Young.    It certainly buttresses the idea that Canales would need permission to bench him but that is as far as you can take it.    After that it is pure speculation and it doesn’t make sense.

      Uhh, okay yes that happened. I didn’t like the pick either I am a 3rd or later RB guy. Always. Actually hated the CMC pick too. Hated the Stewart pick.  No one wants to talk about trading the #39 in that draft and what he did with that.  Got #52, #155, and the Rams 2025 2nd to boot.   The 52 and 155 plus our 142 5th rounder to go up for a Brooks Everyone wants to forget about the 2025 2nd for that Rams trade  which was used to move up for Scourton.  That Rams trade down was a great deal for us.
