Ebay suggested to me to send some viewers offers to buy the broken laptop. Not sure how eBay determines this but 2 viewers out of 25 came up so along with 1 watcher so I sent them offers of $44 from an original asking price of $50. I also allowed counter offers to be made so let's say if they counter with $40, I will accept it. Sending offers is a powerful motivator and I've even bought items when sellers sent me offers as a buyer.

I accidentally became a reseller and it worked out slightly in my favor and saved me from an oopsie!
Bought a high chair accessories bundle that came with a newborn attachment ($150 new), baby attachment ($160 new), and brand new in box tray ($70 new) from FB marketplace for $100 total.
Already has the newborn attachment from a BF sale so figured I’d give to a friend but then decided to list on FB marketplace for $40 and sold immediately.
A couple days later I learn that the company came out with a new version of the baby set with a better functioning clip just a couple of months ago and knew I’d want that version. So listed the baby set for $60 and it also sold immediately.
In the end, I got my $100 back and still got to keep the $70 brand new tray. I probably could have sold for more but wasn’t looking to make a profit. Wasted about 45 minutes total of my time. Overall, I’m pleased with the outcome!

As for market value, I'm assuming you used Product Research before listing to look up sold comps for the item.Steve

I went to two thrift shops today because they do 25% off on Tuesdays if you belong to their loyalty club.
I spent $35.89.
I came home and sold it all to Replacements for $221.00.
Instant profit of $185.11 in about 2 hours.Steve

I bought 9 salad plates for $8 that I sold for $18.
I bought 8 dinner plates for $15 that I sold for $320.
I bought 4 cereal bowls for $5 that I sold for $200.
I was there for under an hour. About $500 profit.Last edited by disneysteve; 01-16-2025, 09:12 AM.Steve
