For those that think I'm BSing... sorry for the crap picture it was dark when I dropped the stuff off at my storage.
This was today's haul from 8 stores. Sunday is my thrift store day as it's the day one of the big thrift store chains rotate their 50% & .99 cent tags. At 8 stores I spent 269.97.
In that mess is... (prices are my sale points)
Original xbox $70
Gamecube $55
2x PS1's $30 each
1 x box360 guitar hero (I pair it with the game $60-80)
1x ps2 guitar hero $30-40 with the game
3x Rock Band sets $300-500 total (these are out of the pics but parts are shown)
2x cash registers 80-100 each
6x men's jeans ($20 an up)
There is a bunch of other stuff like 2 sets of wireless game controllers, a like new refurbished Sony Walkman cassette player. Various odds and ins to complete other game console bundles I have or for future sets.
These are prices I get, I sell this kinda stuff all the time. The only thing I've never sold before are the cash registers. Low ball is $80 each.
Meaning conservative estimate is around $900 in sales from that $269.97 I spent today. I also lose about 30% in fees/shipping costs. The shipping costs I can usually cover by adding lots of low-profit items in with my shipments if it goes to Amazon. If I sell it on ebay I charge shipping.
I don't always do so much gaming stuff, but it just what I happen to find on a given day.
As I said.. printing money.
