More Things To Sell Without Having To Buy Them

This weekend I started listing items from two different consignment customers.

Ok, ok, one is my neighbor and one is my brother and his wife but still, the profits will roll.

The consignment agreement for the money split is 50-50 of the profits. That means that eBay/Paypal fees and shipping costs will be deducted from the sale price and then we each will get half of the remainder.

Not too shabby, all I have to do is the work with no out of pocket expense while I wait for it to sell.

Let’s check out what my neighbor gave me to sell

Two old laptops and a DVD-RW drive. I will have to clear the laptops from them before I sell them.

When I first went over, I looked up the laptop on the right and there was profit to be made. But the laptop on the left (a KDS Valiant 6480 laptop built in 2001) was thrown in when I went back a few days later to pick up the items. I don’t know how much it is worth as only the AC adapters are listed on eBay right now. Any input on this from you?

This PC case is huge! It is an Armor Thermaltake case with multiple fans and like 11 slots for drives. Very nice, even if it is about a decade old now. Inside was the motherboard and graphics card, both still sell for a decent amount as well.

The last item from my neighbor are these white suede shoes from Allen Edmonds. I need to clean them up as they seem to fetch a much higher price if they look good.

Stuff From My Brother

The shoes in the box are a pair of Nike Air Jordans that I brought back from visiting my brother in Alaska. They aren’t even his and the way they came into his possession is rather interesting.

He came back from work one day and there was a pile of stuff in his backyard. Bunches of clothes, shoes, accessories, and video games. He thinks a girlfriend dumped her boyfriend and then tossed his stuff.

He actually had at least 8 pairs of lightly used Air Jordans in their original boxes and some other nice stuff. Haha.

I would have brought all the shoes back if I had the space to do so.

I have:

• Air Jordan Retro 13
• Air Jordan 5 Retro Low
• Air Jordan 6 Retro Low

As these are very lightly used, they all sell for around $130-150.

Cha-ching!

I’m hoping to find a few more consignment customers as I contemplate a transition to full-time reselling.
