Delta Fonsan 12v DC 0.08a 40x20mm 2-Wire Fan DFB0412M
The other day I ran across this box of computer CPU fans at my favorite thrift shop. They look new. I was able to get 52 of them for $10.25. This is kind of a gamble since I don't know if there is any demand for them. For all I know they are obsolete. I figured it was a worth while chance to take. If they are worthless, I'm only out 10 bucks. But maybe they're worth a few bucks a piece. When I got home, I checked on eBay. There's a bunch for sale for a few bucks each, but none are selling. I did a general google search. I found a lot for sale for a few bucks each. This tells me that they aren't completely obsolete, but there's not a huge demand for these. So I decided list the whole lot of 52 together for $34.00 with free shipping. this makes them about $0.65 each. Maybe someone will want them.

Stamps Sold... Soap and Book Didn't
Update: The US stamp collection I found for $1.50 sold. I'll break that down in a minute. The peter pan soap and wood cover new testament did not sell. I originally listed these for $9.00 each with free shipping. I'm going to try to get rid of these again. I relisted the soap for $6.00 with free shipping and the book for $4.00 with free shipping. If either sells, I will about break even. Lesson learned. I won't bother with these again.
Now, the stamps. This turned out to be a good find.
I found a couple of new things I'll list later this week.
