Slow deals lately…

January 29, 2008

Haven’t seen any big deals lately.  I thought I had a few but one was a software that I could sell but in order to get the rebate you had to activate the software first. What a nightmare that would have been as the software (Peachtree Accounting Pro) was $140.  Ouch, that would have been [...]

Whoa, may have a big hitter here ($300+ profit). SanDisk 4GB Cruzer Micro USB 2.0 Flash Drive for $5.99

January 22, 2008

Ok, Buy.com has the SanDisk 4GB Cruzer Micro USB 2.0 Flash Drive for $5.99.  These are going for around $25 on ebay.  I was debating on how many to purchase.  This was a tough decision for me. I didn’t want to get too many where it would be very time consuming to get rid of [...]

Purchase – Windows Live Care 2.0

January 22, 2008

Here is a no risk purchase but not a big money maker.  I purchased Windows Live OneCare 2.0 for $28.99 but has a $30 rebate. So, I make $1 right off the bat plus it had free shipping.  This is going from $15-$20 on ebay so I should be able to sell this easily (ouch, [...]

Just missed out.

January 20, 2008

I just missed out on a great deal at Staples. They had a clearance item on a Backpack that holds a laptop.  It was a Targus brand (which I already have and love).  They are normally $39.99 but they had them on clearance  for $3.95.  I called around and one store said that Westside store [...]

Selling IBM Docking Stations

January 19, 2008

Finding out that Craiglisters ALWAYS ask to reduce price so in order to sell I bump up the price.  Here are my listings.
Craigslist IBM Docking Station
EBAY IBM Docking Station

Total: $213.59. Estimated total after selling $333.59

January 18, 2008

Finally received payment for the DVD sale.
That brings my total up to $213.59.  All I have out to sell right now are 4 IBM Docking stations which just came today.  My estimate after selling these is $333.59.  I hope to net $30 a piece out of these.

Sold: 2GB SD Card for $16.95

January 17, 2008

Sold the 2GB SD card and made a quick $10.  Not alot but it adds up and I didn’t have alot of risk in it.  Too bad I couldn’t have done this in bulk due. The one time Google checkout deal limited me.

Sold: Lexmark Z1480 Printer

January 16, 2008

Sold on Craigslist for $50.
So, for the Printer/Router deal, I paid $50 and sold for $100.  $50 profit in just a few days.  I was pretty happy on how this went down.
I posted this printer on Ebay and Craigslist. I put the Craigslist amount at $50 and the ebay auction around $34.50 with $14.99 shipping.  Within [...]
