Wow, great work already! Are you going to keep some sort of spread sheet to track what you've made?

I am writing it down in a little notebook to see what is spent, bought and the price sold for.

Funny story...

When I worked for Comcast years ago I found a brass beetle at a garage sale. A small pendent looked old got it for a quarter, we called it the scarab at work. I put it on ebay with a very cool story I had a co worker write. Since he was an journalism major and didn't do $hit with his degree I gave him the gist of what I wanted. So the story grew to this fable about my great grandfather finding this pendent in an Egyptian tomb and soon after died of mysterious causes. Years later my grandfather found the beetle in a box and soon died. The back story was the pendent was cursed and anyone that owned it soon died. Bidding started at a dollar and ended up going for over $300. My co-workers were freaking in shock about it and we ending up putting more crap for sale, a hunted coke can that had a ghost trying to escape, LOL stupid coke can that was dropped and bulged out. A can of soup with missing label, and so on.

Long story short, people on eBay are stupid and will buy anything.

Glad you are proud of outright lying to people....asshole.

Seriously? he placed an item 4 sale with an outrageous story line. The buyer went for it w/out any hesitation. He spun a yarn, don't like it, like the trading post prices, don't buy it.

I have old AK parts that were rumored to be made with steel melted down from the Kremlin's door hinges.
