I made another sale to bring me up to five sales overall. I sold the Antique Building Puzzle for $18.49 plus shipping. Once all the fees and shipping were paid, I made $11.29 profit on this item. This was another good winner for me in my changejarflip experiment to see what I can turn the small amount of money I started out with. This is one of the highest profit potential items I had in my current inventory and puts me back into a spot to buy more items. The profit I’ve made has now paid for all the items I have purchased and there is an amount of $9.27 that needs to be reinvested and leaves me with 23 items in my inventory. I’ll update with the new items once I’ve purchased them and will have an inventory which is at least $63.20 once invested. At this point I’ve profited at $26.82 on my initial investment of $36.38. This is a return of 73% in just around 5 months. This is working to increase my small amount very quickly to a larger amount.
Another Annual Return Calculation
The annual return on this item again shows how you can take a small amount and turn it into a large amount. It took 126 days for this item to sell and is a turnover rate of 2.89. This means if the sell rate would hold, I would sell 2.89 of these items in a year. The rate of return on the item is very high. This is calculated with the profit amount divided by the cost of the item, $11.29/4.64. This leads to a return of 243%. To calculate the annual return you do the rate of return times the turnover rate. To calculate the amount of annual return, on this it is calculated with 2.89 times 243%, which translates to 702%. This is how good things happen. I’ll keep on buying and keep on growing this change jar amount.
