A few years back I was working a convention selling items and a guy came up to me looking to sell his vintage Star Wars collection. There was roughly 75 figures, cases, and accessories. I quickly glanced at the figures and told him I'd give him $150 for the entire lot which he took.
After taking them home and going through most of the lot, there was a handful of the "last 17" figures from the early 80s (I wasn't aware of the value at the time). Ended up selling an EV9D9 for $130 on ebay and the rest of the "last 17" for between $40-$60 each. Quote:
Mine are usually car/motorcycle related.
Bought a $250 Mustang hatchback roller, traded it for a nice '87 Honda VFR 750. Rode the wheels off the thing for a couple years, sold it for $3000. Used that money, bought a 1 owner, garage kept '88 T-Bird Turbocoupe with an overheating issue. Changed the head gasket and flushed the cooling system ($250 in parts, my labor), drove it a few months, traded it even for a '90 Mustang GT with 60k original miles. Drove that a few months, traded it for a '92 Chevy standard cab 4x4 sport. Sold that a month later for $4500. Total profit by the time I was done was about $7000. That is so cool about the iPod dollar store holders. Thanks for sharing. Another cool flipping story |
