quote: Originally posted by v-town coupe: seriously the OP is speaking the truth. I bought some ps1 stuff at a garage sale and had some of my own stuff and final fantasy 7 was in that bunch. I got $85 for the game because it was almost in new condition and still had the receipt in it from the 90's. Ive bought and sold nintendo games, action figures etc.
shit I bought some star wars figures at a garage sale awhile ago,got the whole lot for $5 and made $180 on that set.
some of you may remember a while back i yanked the recently rebuilt front end off of my 67 when i went to the new setup. had a few folks interested here but no takers I was all the way down to $250 for everything.
finally I got tired of people flaking and it sat and i parted the suspension and steering out piece by piece, low and behold I sold everything for a very modest price and got almost $1200 for the whole front end.
if you dig around and know how to use Ebay it can be a money maker,I personally get burned out quickly because of people who pay for something on a tuesday dont read the add which says" orders will be shipped the friday following payment" then thursday I get a message asking where their shit is?lol. if you can handle the multiple trips to the post office and dealing with people Ebay is def. profitable!
I like to have everything already packaged up and ready to be sent out before i put them on, like i'll put on 5-10 auctions on monday, i'll usually put them on for 5 days for the usps stuff(small light items) and 5 days for the ups stuff(big heavier items) and make 2 trips for both on the following monday so everyone has a chance to pay. Then do the same thing again [ February 28, 2012, 05:39 PM: Message edited by: Robb ]
