I picked up two really good buys at KMart today in hopes of reselling them on eBay and putting some extra cash in my Wii fund after a big hole in my tire left a big hole in my Wii fund.
Anywhoo, the items was going to be a copy of Mario Party 4 (Brand New, K-Mart exclusive packaging) and a combo package of Mario Party 4 (again, in the K-Mart exclusive package) and a WaveBird controller. I picked these up at a K-Mart for $17 each (one game and one WaveBird - $17 for the pair). One WaveBird I wanted to keep for myself (I would like a fourth) - and was hoping to sell the rest for $55-$60 (a $20-$30 profit for me, not a bad deal for the buyers - as MP4 sells for around $30 (used - and these are new copies) and WaveBirds go for $25-$30 new - plus I drove an hour out of my way and these were the only things the K-Mart even had for a good price).
However, after figuring in eBay fees and such (I've never actually sold on eBay before) - either I don't make crap for selling them or they wouldn't be much of a deal for the buyers...
And that's just the listing fees - not to mention paying commission on the final sale and PayPal's stupid fees.
Geesh.

I sold a Motorola Razr on eBay a few months ago for $200. After listing fees, selling fees and the PayPal credit card fee, I made about $175 or so.
