I’ve made $446.25 in profit since my last update in August. I sold 43 items during this period with one very large winner. I sold a Nikon D7200 and made $234.07 on $216 invested into it. I am focusing on buying more expensive items and maintain the other inventory levels I’ve establshed with clothing and cheaper items.
Mini Challenge to Myself
I am buying ten items around $20 and want to see how many times I can double them in one year. I’ve currently bought five items in this challenge. I’ve got two handheld power tools, one zoom telephoto lens, a Psycho Bunny hat, and a Korg Controller. I need to pick up five more items around the $20 amount. One year from now I’ll report how much I put in and what it turned into. I hope to be able to flip each item every quarter.
Current Inventory
In the adventure of this I have bought some higher priced items to try to make larger amounts of profit. I bought a bass guitar, another camera, Pioneer DJ Mixer, and South Africa Kruggerrand pendant. I may lose money on some or all of these, but let the learning begin. I’ve got just under a $1,000 in these items, with the gold pendant being the majority of it.
I got amounts I can sell the bass and pendant for already, but would lose money if I sell to my outs at this point. Going to try and sell in other ways first. I would lose $55 on the bass with my guaranteed buyer, and $148 on the gold pendant with my out.
I’ve got 442 items in total. I am almost fully invested right now with $6.36 to get there.
I bought 20 shares of REFI and four more shares of Verizon. I have 1.86 shares more from Future Fuel as a reinvested dividend. I’m at $288.65 a year in dividends currently. The value of stocks was over $3100 last time I looked them all up with price.
Going through my inventory I missed a book I sold in August. I paid $3.24 for the book, sold it for $50, and made $35.58 in profit on it.
