Fun with 100 Minor League Sets

Another sale:

1994 ProCards Louisville Redbirds

Sold for $3.99 plus $3.99 shipping. Shipping cost $3.35, so minus shipping, eBay fees, and the original 60 cent cost of the set, that's $2.68 profit. That $2.68 pays for roughly 4 1/2 set purchases.

Someone bought THREE sets!

1993 ProCards Waterloo Diamonds
1993 ProCards Columbus Clippers
1993 ProCards Appleton Foxes

$3.99 each plus $5.99 combined shipping ($3.99 plus $1 per set) for a total sale of $17.96. Shipping cost me $3.57. Figure in $2.51 in eBay fees, and the original price of the sets and I've got a $10.08 profit here!

So, with six sets sold (and a couple lots from other sets) we've resold about 6% of the lot and have made back 34.5% of our investment. Not a bad start!

Listed:

1992 Fleer ProCards Edmonton Trappers

1992 Fleer ProCards Fort Myers Miracle

1992 Fleer ProCards Jackson Generals

The headliner for the Trappers is Tim Salmon, but the team also featured a bunch of other names...Mike Butcher, Willie Frasier, Damion Easley, Ken Oberkfell, and Phil Bradley.

The Miracle don't have any names that jump out at me.

The Generals featured Todd Jones. Also on the team was Roberto Petagine...and not a lot of other names I recognize.

Just had someone buy FIVE sets!

1993 ProCards Spokane Indians
1992 ProCards Gulf Coast Dodgers
1994 ProCards Columbus RedStixx
1994 ProCards Burlington Indians
1994 ProCards Rockford Royals

$3.99 each times 5 = $19.95. I combined shipping at $7.99 for a total of $27.94. I upgraded the seller to priority shipping as a thank you for the order, which cost me $7.67.

After shipping, ebay fees, and original cost of the 5 sets is figured in, that's a profit of $13.53 ($2.70 per set)!

That puts us over 59% of our initial investment recouped, with only 11 sets sold, 3 lots sold, and 41 more sets to list!
