What does the wife think of you plunking down a $1000 for a card? Any " discussions " about that or other things to do with the cash?

Now, with that said, I'm not planning on selling his cards anytime soon, but if things get tight, I know I'll be able to without taking a "hit" or at least a big one :) |
Weekend update!
Bought a few things: Nissan truck stereo for $6 Indoor Smores maker for $1 Die Cast Tie Fighter in a case for $1 AP US History book for $5 (not sure why I got this ... lapse in judgment I guess!) 2 foot long canoe collectible $5 The only thing worth showing a pic of though is this: A 1 foot tall monkey reading a book statue for $10 http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTYwMFg4OT...Vxmow/$_12.JPG He's gorgeous. I also sold the silver dollar for $104, so this puts me up $76. |
Nothing too crazy happening here, unfortunately! No white whales have surfaced ... yet.
However, I do have a few updates: I picked up a small lot of cards for $60, and flipped them for $100. The ps2 went for $40, and the couch ended up selling for $75. That gives me a total of +$155 |
Update time! It has been snore city for the past several weeks on this thing, as I have been mega busy with other things, and white whales are hard to come by. But anyway, here are some things to note:
I have sold the following: play house 110 cd head unit 35 star wars item 15 3 oriental pieces 40 build a bear clothes 101 wii games 25 The wii games would have gone for $40 (and they did) but the guy who bought them said 4 of them didn't work. I was baffled, but didn't want to rake the guy over coals or anything about it. I asked him to clean the discs and he said he did, but they still didn't work. I ended up refunding him $15. I normally wouldn't think anything, but I found out something pretty ugly about a person I know. They do things like I mentioned above intentionally to get money and free stuff. Apparently they do it all the time. Makes me sick to think that someone would do that! I also sold some schooling books to a mom that was supposed to be $20. She gave me $10 cash and a $50 check to hold some other books for her for a day. That day never came. Even after contacting her a few times, she broke several promises to pay up. it looks as if this woman who seemed to be a nice and genuine person decided that she didn't want to be bothered with something little like someone elses money. In the end, it isn't a big deal because it is just $10, but it burns me that people can be so inconsiderate as this. I also picked up a nice little resell lot of 2015 baseball, football and basketball for $130. I've been too busy to list, but will do that shortly! Now for the *possible* BIG news. I may be in the dealings of grabbing a white whale! I am having a very difficult landing the plane with the seller, but if all goes well, I'll have a good update next time I write! Anyway, to total it all up, I have $196 to add to the pot plus a bunch of sweet cards! |
This is the final official post of the 2015 Flip Quest.
Since my last post, I have made 2 or 3 very quick flips of 2015 baseball, football and basketball cards, netting me $465 in profit. This brings the total to $1,938.75. The Red Crusade dude apparently rocketed off to Mars or something, because I have not heard from him again, unfortunately. I still hold out hope for the future. That doesn't mean that this Flip Quest was a bust though! Earlier, I had picked up the biggest single acquisition for my collection, ever - and guess what? It was a mere $38.75 less than the total that I had left for the Flip Quest! I find it very cool that the ending price was very close to the purchase price of the below cards. I had drained Paul, a former super collector of a lot of his low end stuff, and like an addict, I went for the "hard stuff". That's right, peeps - low numbered, autographed, patch stuff. Hardly any of this ever sees Ebay so I was fortunate to have picked up this in one swipe. Here are the goods: 2003 Donruss Recollection autograph #/12 http://mycollectionofcards.com/baseb...seco PC150.jpg Very difficult to find minor league card (generally goes for $40 to $100) http://mycollectionofcards.com/baseb...oPC2002061.jpg http://mycollectionofcards.com/baseb...seco PC116.jpg http://mycollectionofcards.com/baseb...seco PC084.jpg http://mycollectionofcards.com/baseb...seco PC093.jpg Quite possibly my favorite patch card of him ever! http://mycollectionofcards.com/baseb...seco PC095.jpg http://mycollectionofcards.com/baseb...oPC2001148.jpg http://mycollectionofcards.com/baseb...oPC2001160.jpg http://mycollectionofcards.com/baseb...seco PC031.jpg http://mycollectionofcards.com/baseb...seco PC052.jpg http://mycollectionofcards.com/baseb...seco PC208.jpg How can you not love this card?
