I would think buying something he can’t turn over or you know, sells for less than he bought it for but that’s just me.


I have had many items that I couldn’t flip or took a loss, but it’s countered by the wins.

The only reason I bought the sunglasses today for $24, is because I knew I had a homerun with the Hot Wheels.

I look at it per day. I spent $47 today. I don’t count it as I paid $18 for the cars, $24 for the sunglasses, and $5 for the record.
So if the sunglasses are a loss, and the cars sell for $500, do I really have a loss?

This is always how it was in my vintage booth and they few things I sold on ebay. The wins were much more than the losses. So the net was always in the red for a hobby that I found fun.

Didn't mean to imply taht you take losses on everything but that on individual items it's bound to happen. You do what you enjoy doing!
