We love sharing the awesome flips we have on eBay, so check out what we sold last month to make $6,850 on eBay. We made this much on eBay in just four sales!
A little sneak peek, we didn’t spend $6,000 to make $6,850. No, we hardly spent anything, but we will get down to that in just a second. This is how you go to the next level with reselling, if you want to do it.
Item #1 – Panini Press
This was a find at the local flea market. Melissa spotted it. I had it listed for less than 2 weeks before it sold on eBay. It was probably three to four hours of work. We were already planning to go to the flea market and then listed and shipped it. This was not a big item and didn’t go on a pallet; it went in a box.
Sold: $1,500
COGS (cost of goods sold): $45
eBay Fees: $197
Shipping: $103
Profit: $1,155
Item #2 – The Range
We picked this up coming back from a vacation we were taking down in the Florida Keys with the kids. I looked for an item on Marketplace that we could try to pay for the vacation and I found a range. It sold about two weeks after I got it listed. Killer deal for what I had invested into it. I did not even need a forklift for this. I used my hand truck to move it around. Once I got it onto the pallet, I slid it up on the trailer.
Sold: $3,400
COGS: $120
eBay Fees: $335
Shipping: $382
Profit: $2,563
Item #3 – Absen Panel Hardware
This was the hardware for Absen panels. We bought these a couple of years back and they’ve just been sitting in my warehouse because I’m the bottleneck and didn’t get them listed. I probably have six to eight crates of these with 70-80 of the same unit. I got one listed and we sold 12 panels a month later. These also went in a box.
Sold: $1,800 ($1,560 plus $240 for shipping for 12 panels)
COGS: $60 (we estimated $5 each)
eBay Fees: $197
Shipping: $102
Profit: $1,441
Item #4 – Stryker Stretcher Bag
This was a piece that came from the Stryker stretchers we sold last year. We bought 12 stretchers for $2,200 and sold the stretchers for over $35,000. I had pulled off some stretcher accessories to sell separately. This was a zip bag that they put straps and gloves into. We said it was $0 for cost of goods because I’ve already made my money back on the stretchers and counted the total cost of them previously and I still have a couple more stretcher components to sell through.
Sold: $150
COGS: $0
eBay Fees: $20
Shipping: $5
Profit: $125
Total Profit
Let’s look at the total costs so you can see what we actually made in profit.
Total Sales: $6,850
COGS: $225
eBay Fees: $749
Shipping: $592
Profit: $5,284
We only had to sell four items to make over $5,000 off a $225 investment, which is over 20Xing our initial investment. This is awesome and why we absolutely love this flipping business and reselling items on eBay.
That is the breakdown from last month. Hopefully it encourages you since you can see what is possible. This is just part-time hours that we’re doing in this business. This is just what we’ve geared our business toward, and we hope that it encourages you and helps you.
