The Great Mouschi Flip Quest of 2015

[mouschi]

....and just like that, we are out of the batter's box!

A fellow cardboard fiend just texted me with a nice $50 lot of cards. BUT this also came with a $30 gift certificate to a major restaurant chain here, which we will put to good use soon I'm going to parcel out the cards from it for $20, so it leaves me with $1.50 and these cards ....









Oh, and I got this Kershaw, but I have a few of his autos on some blanks from some TTM's, so I'm going to be ripping out the jersey piece to make an auto relic custom.



..... BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!!!

They already have sold. Every single card ... within 3 hours.

The first card sold for $57 and the rest at $47.75 altogether.

Today I picked up a resale lot that included a Kobe Autographed Redemption card, and some other goodies. In addition to this, the wifey and I went to HEB while our son was at his youth group, to do some shopping.

We ran across a boat load of t-shirts for $1 each. They were all JJ Watt shirts, and there were 21 of them. If I can't sell these here locally for more, then I'm doing something wrong!

We bought some other groceries as well, but the shirts came out to be $21 ... I love seeing in print that we saved nearly $300.

All the cards I picked up last night just sold - after shipping fees, $116.75 to add!

I've always wanted to do something like this and you have just motivated me to start! Good luck!

Some highlights of the day:

- I asked the owners of a garage sale how much a tie cost - when another buyer already had it around his neck. The buyer's wife said I could have the man if I bought the tie. While we were all laughing, I declined questioning how much she thought I could get for him.

- We went to one sale that said "POWER RANGER TOYS". The dude had a boat load of star wars, star trek and power ranger toys. Vintage, etc. He was mega high priced, and I struck up a conversation with him. When asked why he was selling, he said with a straight face "The apocalypse is coming. Have you heard of the blood moons? We are 3 deep now, and have one more to go." I would have thought he was messing with me, but everything about him and his body language showed that he was being serious. LOL!
