I found this cool little toy at Goodwill.

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

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.
