Another Craigslist Sale

November 12th, 2010 at 02:32 am

About 2 months ago I picked up a Christmas Train set for $2 (originally sold for about $45 in the 90's). I took a chance on it, and when I tried to use it, the wheels weren't moving on the engine. After I took the motor apart (three times!) I found a gear was loose, so I superglued it back in place and it worked just fine then. Jump to today and I sold it for $20 (and there was lots of people writing for it too). A 'lil ingenuity and a dab of superglue, wait a few months, and some easy money comes out of it. Nice way to help pay for a little of my latest DRIP purchase.

    Very nice. I bought an item for $1 at a garage sale and resold it on ebay for $20.50. Keep up the good work.

    Yep, I remember seeing that and almost commented that I too had bought something for $1 the prior weekend and it ended up selling on ebay for $20.86. No I don't know why the odd number, but looking at the prices it was like we bought the same item. In my case it was rechargable tool batteries that were never opened. So yeah, cool.
