Flip Of The Day #9: Nintendo Wii Lens Cleaning Kit
Video games are the hot thing right now at yard sales to pick up and sell online for a profit. So of course I picked up this package because it was something for the Nintendo Wii and had a UPC. I scanned the barcode and it showed that there were NONE listed on Amazon (which is actually pretty rare).
So I checked eBay and saw that these are selling for $50-$60 in new condition! Even thought it was clearly opened, I added it to a small pile of items that I was buying and basically got it for free.
I took a closer look at home and found out that two of the five cleaning pads had already been used. So I took pictures and added an accurate description and listed it for $34.99 on eBay. It sold in less than 24 hours.
LESSONS:
Scan items with barcodes.
Understand that just because something doesn't have any active listings, that doesn't mean that it's not valuable. In fact, this can be a sign that it is very valuable!
Take clear pictures, describe your items accurately, and price your items appropriately.
