Biggest profit you have ever made
here is a thread for some stories of your best turnover rate on profit that you made with any video game related item
This is my money maker story
i know a lot of people that work at the goodwill's that are close to my house so i am always getting good deals on random stuff that i sell on Ebay
i seen that they had a PC game called DEEP RAIDER,it was sealed and it came with a usb controller that was also a mouse.i ended up getting one for my own personal emulation center.
they worked so good i got about 5 more for right around 3.00 each
after i gave them away to all my gamer friends they all said they were the best controllers that they ever used.
a few days later i went down to the goodwill and i spoke to the lady that is super cool with me and my pops,we ended up getting around 600 sealed copies for 5 cents each
that was 1.00 per box of 20
i was selling them on ebay for 10.00 each shipped
just about a few hours ago my dad and i sold out
600 times 10.00 is a huge amount of profit
the only thing that sucks is after every sale i would have to open a box of 20 the open each one then pack it up
i spent many nights just sitting back packing them up for shipment
the most i sent out in one day was 17 of them
So whats your story

So whats your story
typically if such a large quantity sells out so quickly you're negating some additional potential profit ... but that's my 2 cents ... um i buy stuff all the time so i dont know ... maybe it was donkey kong land 3 new for $5 and sold for $25 .... or maybe it was something else ... hard to keep track
Cost to me = $0.00
Profit = $500+
Sega master Prototypes I got Around 40 of them For 200.00

I keep my eyes out for that game where ever I go
are we talking profit in terms of gross (total money amount) or percentage? There is a very important distinction.
Well, I thought myself about that too.
Let's say it can be one or another, but in fact, a real BIG PROFIT sale should combine both, Gross & Percentage, like this one:
Original Game Boy (with Tetris) Factory Sealed, paid $20, sold it for $800.

Should be percentage after a certain point + gross. I mean, if I buy something for 4,000 and turn it over for 8,000, then it's the same percentage if I buy something for 2 dollars and turn it over for 4.

I think it should just be about net profit.
