The Great Mouschi Flip Quest of 2015

[mouschi]

Slow going for sales, but today we did pretty good with some purchases.

We grabbed this suede love seat for $15

This play system for $5

This boat for $8

and the following:

Build a bear lot w/13 bears, some furniture and clothing $25 (+FREE Elf on a Shelf WOOT)
Littlest Pet shop lot $10
Yacker Tracker $5
Stuffed Tea Set $1
Kids Easel / Desk $5

$74 well spent, I'd say!

 

[RStadlerASU22]

Yeah , I think you should profit well on those

If I was anywhere near you I would work something out for the love seat.

Shipping should only be 300 bucks or so!

Things are still slow going, because I have many other things going on, but I thought I would update for the first time in about 11 days.

I picked these beauties up for $10. They are about 3 feet tall. A sticker said $5 on one of them and I asked the lady if it was $5 for all 3 or $5 each. There were a gaggle of women gasping at me even asking. "$5 would be a real good deal for you, wouldn't it?" So I said "yeah, but what do you expect? It is a garage sale, so ...". The gaggle laughed a bit as to say touche.

Instead of walking away because they offended my honor, I figured I'd just grab 'em for $10

I also got this kid stool for $8.

The last piece of buying I did was this little lot here:

Total, I have spent $58.

Here is what I have sold:

Littlest Pet Shop lot for $50
Camcorder for $35 (YEAH!)
but then the buyer said it was broken (BOOOO)
I promised to give him a refund and because "I was honest and nice" he only asked for $25.
So ... Camcorder: $10
Dolly Parton Doll (from the doll lot) $18.50
Bloat Up Boat: $50

In total, this means we can add $70.50 along with a few cool profitable pieces to the pot!

 

[mouschi]

Time for an update!

I sold the majority of the cards from my last update for $55. The rest of the cards, I put with this lot that I bought this lot for $60 yesterday:

I ended up selling all the cards above and the leftovers I mentioned for $56.50 so now I have a nice silver coin to add to the mix

A build-a-bear sold for $20
The kangaroo climber sold for $50
The Guidecraft Kitchen Stool sold for $50
and last but not least the ankle boot sold for $20

That gives us a profit of $191.50 to add to the pile, and we are now over $1,000 - now if only one of my white whales would surface!

 

[mouschi]

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

He's gorgeous.

I also sold the silver dollar for $104, so this puts me up $76.

Guess you'll just have to save up enough to meet Canseco again?How was the trip to Mexico?

It was good! The family that got the house was overjoyed. My wife enjoyed the church service there. ..much more different than our church here. There was all kinds of dancing and such.

 

[mouschi]

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!

Good job on moving some stuff and hope you harpoon the whale.

And yes, I never get people that try to get over quick. You're right $10 isn't a big amount, but it's a lot bigger than just the $. Someone I know, not friends with, but I heard them mention they order from EastBay all the time and claim the package didn't show etc and keep that product and tell EastBay to send them another thing to replace that. I have no idea what goes through people minds.

BOOOO! Who the heck are these people? I just don't understand what makes humans do things like this sometime.

I didn't have the guy bring the games back out - in case he was telling the truth, I didn't want to put him out like that.

Here are the pics of the resale lot - the FB & Panini points are now gone so just the baseball / basketball remain!

 

[SINFULONE]

What can you get with Panini points?

I think you can use them to purchase cards at their website ... but they are now sold
