So, earlier this week I purchased a 1941 Canadian half off a guy for $5.
I picked up some .45 ACP 25 round magazines for a Glock for $150.1 and resold them for $345 after Papal fees and Shipping costs.
I went back, picked up Five 10mm - 15 round magazines for a Glock and put those up online, paid $160 total for them, currently have two sold for $155 shipped, after paypal fees and shipping I should make $140 on the two, which will equal about $210 profit on my $160 investment.
I am currently looking for more 'investment opportunities' but the inventory is drying up.
I did 7 boxes of halves total this week.
Box 1: 1/40% - 1/1964 - 3/Franks
Box 2: 4/40%
Box 3: Skunked
Box 4: Skunked
Box 5: 1/40%
Box 6: 1/40%
Box 7: 1/40%
A couple of the halves were so black and nasty I would have missed them from edge checking.
I also did
70 rolls of CWR nickels - 1/War
134 rolls of CWR Dimes - 1/Rosie
2 rolls of CWR Quarters - Skunked
Friday nights auction was not too bad but it was not the greatest either. The Ukrainian guy was there which is my main competition so now we are working together to make sure we both make money. My eyes caught silver the second I walked in and I made a B line to some knives. As I reach out to grab one, I hear in a deep Ukrainian accent, they Fedorov, they are real. To explain the name, I was wearing my Russian Olympic Hockey Jersey with #91 Sergei Fedorov on it. So.. He asks me if I am wanting to bid on it and I say yes and he asks how much I am going to go to and I said I dont know, why not work together, one of us bids and we split the cost and the 4 knives in half. We decide that if it goes above $60 I am out and he can keep them all. We end up picking up the knives for $12 total, so $3 per knife or $6 per person. I stripped mine the next day and came up with 38 grams of sterling silver or 1.13 oz of silver content.
I sold two nazi coins I picked up in another auction to the Ukrainian because he had a buyer, I made $6 on the deal, perfect for the price of the knives.
We wait around for a few hours for them to get to the jewelry. With the number of people I chose not to weigh many items and I lost on on that but better safe than sorry. Vlad the Ukranian won the bids on a few items that I bailed out on and he picked up on. One necklace I left at $25 he got for $30, turned out to be about $42 worth of silver in it. Its weight spread out was deceiving. If I could have weighed it I would have stayed on it. I did manage to walk away with two rings, one worth a tad over $4 and another worth about $1 but its pretty cool. Its got a patent number marked inside of it,
I call it ring 2763140 . Not sure if the stone in it is real for not, ill take it down and have it checked. Vlad picked up a necklace marked 14k but it seemed too shiny for me, he got it for $60 and if its real, its worth $360.
Todays auction netted me a single coin, 1966 Canadian silver dollar for $17.50 everything else went for way too much.
For now I am using free silver money but I am seriously considering using that money on a new gps/downscan sonar for the boat. The more fish I catch, the more money for stacking I have.
