Vintage Sears Atari Pong Sports 4 IV Tele Games Telegames, Tested Works Great
Description:
"Great 70's vintage pong gaming system. My sons tested it out to make sure everything is working (everything works great, controllers are steady, see the screen shots) and I couldn't get them to put it down.
TELE-GAMES PONG SPORTS IV, "16 Exciting Videogames such as Pong, Hockey, Street Tennis, and Street Hockey". Manufactured for Sears Roebuck by Atari.
Comes with everything pictured, including the original box in great conditon, both original box inserts (not pictured), two controllers, original owner's manual (copyright 1977), and game system. (requires 4 "C" batteries or battery eliminator, not included). Everything in great condition.
Awesome system for any collection."

Again, with listing video games, I think it goes a long ways to include a lot of pictures, especially screen shots of you actually playing the game. Too many game system listings don't include this. This will put your listing head and shoulders above the others.
I picked up this system for ten dollars from a local online classified ad. I sold it for $49.00 plus $8.01 shipping.

V TECH V-SMILE Learning System w/ 9 GAMES 2 Controllers, VTech VSmile Cars Nemo

Comes with everthing pictured. My son loved this but he has moved on to Wii. I tested everything. It all works Great and is in Great condition. I've included game screen shots.
Included is the V.SMILE gaming system, Two controllers (one with a standard big button and one with a writing pad and stylus), a power supply, and the following nine games:

• Alphabet Park Adventure

• Finding Nemo, Nemo's Ocean Discoveries

I found that taking pictures or screen shots of the game system working really puts your listing ahead of others that don't. I sold this very quickly for $50.00 plus $8.01 shipping.

Lot of 133! Varta Watch Battery V392 D392 392 SR41W

I found these Watch Batteries on a shelf with a bunch of misc. electronics junk at a thrift shop. I paid $2.00 for 133 new watch batteries. I figured it was a safe gamble. I listed them for $23.00 with free shipping anywhere in the US. There's gotta be someone who wants a bunch of watch batteries! We'll see.....

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.

                        Sold -     $38.04

                -eBay Fees       $3.01

 -Shipping & Handling      $5.05

   - What I Paid For It       $1.50

                = My Profit     $27.08

I found a couple of new things I'll list later this week.

The Boy Scout Merit Badge Sash with 26 Badges that I first blogged about on Sept 23rd sold for $24.50!
So, let me break down what I actually get to put into my pocket as profit.

-eBay Fees       $2.14

-PayPal Fees       $1.01

I guess that isn't too bad. It'll pay for my lunch.

US Postage Stamp Collection

I found a good one. It was on the bottom shelf of a picked-over rack at one of the thrift stores I visit. I noticed a three-ring binder with pictures of postage stamps on it. I took a look inside and it contained several pocket pages with unused US postage stamps. The binder was marked for $1.50 and I knew just from glancing inside that there was much more than $1.50 in stamps. So I bought it. Here's what I got.

I counted 457 unused stamps with a total face value of $26.31. They are are older stamps, 4¢, 5¢, 6¢, 8¢,10¢, and 15¢. I thought at first that I could easily get at least face value if not more. I found by doing a quick search on eBay that similar auctions were getting slightly under face value. So, I started my auction off at $19.00 with free shipping and I threw in an old 20 Kroner bank note from Denmark, worth about $4.00. I could have asked for $30.00 and expected to get it but the whole point with selling on eBay is to give the next guy a good deal while at the same time turning a quick profit for yourself. I think this auction accomplishes both.
