A lot has happened since my last update. I sold three items, bought two shares of Verizon, and both five new items.
The first item I sold was the William Morris King Sheet Set for $85.00 and I ended up making $23.69 in profit off of it. This is a very good flip for me. I somehow lost this item on my table when I was doing updates on this blog. I keep a separate spreadsheet to track what I am doing and have added it back in here to be accurate. William Morris items kept on making the flip game work.
The second item I sold was a Motley Crue DVD I bought on February 25th and sold it on February 26th and made $.99 of profit. The crazy fast flips always make me just laugh because I’m amazed when they happen in that amount of time. I paid $2.15 for it at Goodwill when I picked up two other items at the same time. I picked up a Steve Jobs book and a Whisky puzzle.
The third item I sold was one of the Ralph Lauren sheet sets I bought on February 5th. This is a very quick flip and I have had success in getting value out of these brand of sheets over the years. I ended up making $15.84 in profit after I paid $75.76 for the king sheet set. I made less than I wanted to but a quick flip keeps me in a good spot.
Verizon Shares
After selling the above items I had the money to go ahead, and bought two more shares of Verizon which puts me at $10.73 a year in dividend income. I’m going to make almost 30% of what I started with, $36.38, a year now by doing absolutely nothing. Twenty years from now this will be more than $10.73 a year because I’ll keep on reinvesting the dividends, and letting the amount grow.
Verizon was trading at $39.99 when I wrote this.
Items Bought
I also bought a PDP Bass Drum Pedal and a Cabbage Patch Kid doll on February 26th in addition to the items noted above. I am breaking part of what I thought about limiting the number of items I wanted to have in my inventory by buying these low priced items. After these purchases I still need to purchase $87.14 more to be fully invested. I have built up to $916.61 in potential value.
