Still More Amazon Goodness

I am still excited about my simple, but satisfying, Amazon store. I just sent off Lunar 2 for the PS1 to some buyer in California. I don't know why, I just always enjoyed making other people happy by the things I've sold over the years. Of course, if I don't have any use for my things, surely somebody else might, right? I think so.

The great thing about these sales is that I actually netted myself some money. I acquired my duplicate copies of Lunar 1 and Lunar 2 because they were part of a collection: The incredibly hard-to-find hard-cover game guide for L2 was in that auction. They were all $99.99. I won that auction a few years ago, and I had the duplicates just hanging around.

I realized it wasn't financially smart of me to have extra copies of games I already own just sitting there, so I listed them on Amazon. Much to my surprise, I sold L1 for around $60, and I sold L2 for $80. Totaled; I earned $140 for a net profit of $40. The thing that makes this whole dynamic so awesome is that the hard-cover game guide goes for $100 by itself. I essentially made money off of that Lunar auction by buying it for only the hard-cover book. Nice.

I hope I continue to sell on Amazon. It rocks my world.
