    I’ve been doing eBay for about 6 years. My best profit amount was some telephone conference equipment. Paid 175 for 23 items, sold 19 of them for 1700 within 6 days. Best % was a my little pony dvd, paid 0.10, sold for 40 on best offer or a Ralph Lauren coat a charity shop chucked out for free because of a stain, I fixed it and sold it for 90. A fellow thrifter found a Victorian gold ring at a boot sale for 7, had it valued at around 5000.

    My top sale of all time was a manga I found at a thrift store for $3, just so happened it was very rare and sought after. It was One Piece Vol 1 Limited Gold edition, one of only 5000 copies, and despite being not in the best condition it sold for $2000 over on eBay. Other great pickups was a complete with box original Macintosh for $10, sold in non-working condition for $500. A set of 21 Yu-Gi-Oh! glow in the dark Japanese curry stickers, sold for $800. A vintage US Navy Ship Chronometer helm pocket watch, sold in non-working condition for $700. Etc etc. I and most all full-time resellers will agree with Josh that success in reselling comes from consistent inventory, smalls that you make good little chunks of profit on, NOT those once-in-a-lifetime scores. It takes a lot of time, luck, and knowledge to find those lucky items so you simply can't rely on scores like that to stay afloat.

    while i could not confirm it was exactly the same lid style, i recognized the logo on the bottom: that old style starbucks tumbler is desirable (to me) because of the lid configuration is the old true no spill lid with the gasket. you can take the lid apart and clean it (which I guess people don't like to do and that may be why that lid design was discontinued.) Those lids require cleaning if you use dairy in the coffee. So if it smells, take it apart and clean it. Make sure to take good pictures of the bottom and the lid to highlight that feature in the listing.

I just tried to set $ back everytime I found something I wanted while getting my Shopping done. But we have a local overstock pallet bins store. And I have purchased really nice gifts for a fraction. I just want to try it and see where it goes. I was a caregiver in my home for my Sweet Momma and Sissy. Momma was here almost 6yrs. I closed 3 flea market booths to care for them. They both passed 2wks apart last August. I am trying to figure out something to do moving forward that brings me joy. While making some extra $. Good Luck to you🌹

    I liked the mix-and-match approach on this video. Besides cost of goods and the net income you get, I think you need to figure in a set charge for promotion time (photography and listing time) and a warehousing cost (space x time). What-not auctions would then increase in value due to reductions in these costs.

    One of my best deals ever best scores ever was buying a whole garage full of many tools equipment power tools etc for just $500. My mother in laws coworker was getting divorced and sold me everything for so cheap. I had to rent bring a uhaul truck for this deal and get a storage unit for just to store these items. She knew it was a steal for just $500. She was just getting revenge on her cheating husband. In the first 2 sales i got my money back. It took about a year to sell everything. I sold many items on ebay, fb market place, fleamarket, craigslist etc. After all fees shipping cost of goods truck rental and storage unit fees I made about approximately $3500 - 4000. Garage had cement mixer, so many power and compressed air tools, pallet jack so many sets of wrenches etc. From brands like dewalt, snap on, Milwaukee, etc. some tools that were worth $500 just by themselves that paid for everything. I was in the profit the first day in just 2 facebook sales. I even wholesaled some items to other flea-market resellers. It was a dream having so much inventory for so cheap I miss it. But ive also had many other good scores buying at the goodwill bins. Or just at some random arc thrift store here in Denver where I bought a new in the box old stock large epson printer for $40 and selling it within 15 min after listing it on ebay for $700.00. Which later found out I underpriced it. But i still got so much profit I was happy with.

    My best sale was an item I paid out of a storage locker I paid $70. The locker ended up being from a lab that closed. Sold one item from locker fot $3500 with an additional $1000 in sales. This years best finds was a bible I bought at a yard sale for $.25 that sold for $70. Also had a huge flip on a new copy of Scream on vhs I got for $.50. It sold for $100. My honourable mention which I am still processing is a collection of never worn vintage hats, 190 total. I paid $230 for all and am already turning profit with 10 hats sold. Still have about 140 to still list. Should make over $2000 on the purchase. I am also still selling from a collection of video games, comics & action figures I bought for $600 a year ago. I stopped counting its sales when it hit $10000 sold. Still have hundreds of comic books, about 100 action figures and some other misc items. A lot is still being processed and unlisted. Loved having turned my hobby into a career. Cant wait for yard sale season to start again next year.
