Ebay Woot!

Hubs and I were driving around a few yard sales a couple of weeks ago. I like it when he goes with me because I can just jump out and look real quick and if there's nothing good, I can jump right back in and go. There's no unbuckling and buckling Baby Jaws (who believe me, is no baby anymore) back in the truck. Sometimes I get irritated because Hubs will stop at every sale, something I do only if I'm in the mood. If I'm by myself, I usually go for the sales with lots of kid stuff. This sale has changed my mind forever!

So when we happened upon a sale with a couple of older ladies, lots of older people clothing and no toys that I could see from the road, I wasn't so sure. But Hubs insisted I jump out and check. Am I glad he did! I found two Jurassic Park III toys still in the box. The sound even still works. They were made by Hasbro in 2001. There were no prices so I asked the lady how much the two dinosaurs were. She said they were her son's and she would take $1 each. Sold!

I searched it on Ebay and Amazon to see if any had sold and found that some used out of the box had sold for over $20. I decided to start mine at $45. I only got one bid, but it did sell! I was really happy to turn my $1 find into $45.

I also had a Jurassic III Spinosaurus listed, but it didn't sell so I will re-list and try again. I'm so glad this guy is going to a new home though and glad I made a profit on it too!
