It Pays to Wait!!!

I listed this Boxcar Children book a week or so ago for $49.95 or best offer. My first offer was for $10 which I declined, then the same person offered $18, which I then countered with $39.95. Nothing happened. Then I received a different offer from someone for $27.00 which I countered with $42....nothing....! Anyway, this morning I woke up to a "cha-ching" and saw that I had sold it for my asking price of $49.95!!! It's on its way to Pennsylvania!
 
Vintage Boxcar Children Book
Paid $2.00 - Sold for $49.95 - Profit $38.64

Fisher Price Piggy Bank
Paid $2.99 - Sold for $12.00 - Profit $7.15

Outdoor Life Magazine
Paid 12 cents - Sold for $9.95 - Profit $7.88


2 Fur Fish Game Magazines
Paid 24 cents - Sold both for $18.90 - Profit $16.62
 
My total profit on my magazines is now up to $277.11. I have sold 39 magazines so far so that's an average profit of $7.10 each. I still must have about 270 to sell...and most of those I still have to list! If I end up selling all 310 that I bought and make the same average that means I will make a profit of around $2100! Of course that means I need to get busy listing them!
 
Thanks for stopping by! ~~Pam

    1. I know! I always wonder why some just go ahead and pay the full price...maybe they really want it and are afraid someone else might snap it up before they get it...who knows! ~~Pam
