Been telling you guys to do this Ebay thing. I spent $500 to get all this product at yard sales. I will have close to $2200 in sales before fees.

Talk is cheap so here is the link.

Who would have thought that poleroid 600 film would be that much. I will get $125 or so for each 5 pack. I paid 50 cents for the two 5 packs. I thought ti would be like $5 to $10. But $150?? wow. I love scores like that. Deals like this go into my memory for later finds.

Thats about $2200 for about 10 hours work this week. 4 hours shopping, 4 hours listing and a little over 2 hours shipping and packing.

Do it friends. Great way to make lots of extra cash. Plus you get to find tools and things you need dirt cheap.

This week I found a bucket of ring clamps for $3. Big Roll of Lincoln wire feed wire for my welder for $5. And 5 cutoff wheels for my chop saw for $5. A few pockets full of hand tools as well.

Cool, I'll just use my dads name.

This is the key right here. I have sold multiple items on Ebay before yet I'm not yet 18. It's more like, my parents don't know how to use Ebay, but I do. And they just aren't good on computers.

That's what i'll probably do, I've been selling various item on kijiji (like craigslist) and I've made a good amount of cash for 14 year old. I'd like to try ebay, see if I can make a bit more.

I used my name, and i think I used my mum's birth date.

Hey Bighead, if you ever come across a decent CB lemme know, I'll buy it off you.

I think I have a box of the slim modern type. I may have sold them at my yard sale. I will look this weekend for ya. Pretty sure I have like 4 of them. A few 23 channels as well.

I only buy the vintage type to sell on ebay. The newer BASIC type shows little profit and many listed on ebay. Any marine radio I will buy though.

Not very. But always check brand and model number on ebay. You never know.

I would have never knew that polaroid 600 film would be worth that much if I did not check. who pays $40 a box (in some cases) for 10 shots of Polaroid film and why?
