Yesterday seemed like it was going to be a slow day at the start; we experimented with a new route that proved to be a poor choice but, luckily, it picked up at the end of the day. I ended up spending $5.25 for seven items, shown below.
My first purchases were the textbooks. I got both for $0.50. As it turns out, one is worthless but I can sell one to my sister's university for $6.00. Not great but it at least pays for my purchases today. At a later sale I bought the gas mask and the PlayStation game. I worked the seller down from $5 to $0.50 for the gas mask and, when I realized he was a pushover, offered him $0.25 for the game which he accepted. I assumed the game was worthless (I just got it on a whim) but as it turns out it starts on Amazon for around $19 after shipping, which means I can probably sell this copy for $25-$30 plus shipping considering I have the case and the manual. I'm going to play it a little bit before I decide if I'm going to get rid of it or not.
I purchased my last three items late in the day. I got the Motorola Droid, the Flip UltraHD (4GB), and the game boy case plus accessories for $4. The seller was unsure if anything was working which is why he was selling it for so cheap. The camera and the phone both work perfectly. The camera starts at $95 used on Amazon and I could probably sell the phone for $25-40 but I'm keeping both. The only item of the three purchased at the sale I intend to sell is the Game Boy carrier for which I anticipate making anywhere from $10-$30.
