Mind if I ask what you sold it for?

 

Sure I sold it for 275 shipped before fees

 

So these are the calculations

 

Purchased $191

Sold for $275 Shipped before shipping and fees

 

275

-$14.60 Shipping

-10.48 Paypal fees

 

=$249.92

 

So then 249.92-191 =$58.92 Profit

 

To be honest I'm just happy that I finally sold it :)

Plans

 

Sell my FF 53 CGC 7.0

Sell my Darth Vader 3 CGC 9.8

 

Did I miss the announcements as to why these will sell now? Or cutting your loses?

 

No just waiting a little bit before I sell them as I want to pay off the debt I have with comics. Thanks for reminding me about my list as I added another comic.

Now if you can do that type of transaction 200 times per year......you will still be considered under the poverty level :tonofbricks: .

 

The hours thing again right?

 

 

 

I'm afraid so. No matter how successful (or unsuccessful) you become at flipping comics, the stigma of not working full time hours at your age is always going to be hanging over your head.

Not necessarily, just illustrating a point, that even if you pulled off 4 of these $50-$60 profit flips per week, you earned $5.90 per hour. Not even minimum wage.

I agree it's something that adds up but this isn't my job it's just something I'm doing on the side with the hopes of turning it into a job.

That's true but this isn't my job right now it's something I'm doing on the side with the hopes of it becoming an eventual job.
