First of all, welcome to Treasurenet.

I was looking at your finds and you actually did pretty well on several items. At first glance people may not see the value of what you bought. That's the beauty of it. Sometimes things you wouldn't expect to have value will surprise people.
The Encyclopedias if all in the condition of the ones shown are a good deal. Though they are a hard sell and I tend to shy away from them.

The caliper and micrometer set was a good score.

The HP20 ink will get you a few bucks. I buy all sealed inks I can find, it's always cheap and it always sells quick. I sold another one last night within 3 hours of listing it.

The Duncan yo yo's depending on condition and style will sell well.

A couple questions...

Are the Pokemon glasses a full set? You mentioned 9 but I can't tell whether they are all different. I believe there are 9 in the full set.
The VirtualBoy Game, is the condition there? What about paperwork and accessories?

The helmet I believe is a K-Pot or PASGT helmet. It's Kevlar not metal right?

The painted Fire King bowl may be what is referred to as the "Gay Fad" pattern. What's it look like?

All in all, you did good.

All of that is items that I probably would not even notice to be honest.

And that's the beauty of this game. There is always a way to make money. For people that live in lower cost of living areas, there's no real excuse to be broke if you really apply yourself and make a concerted effort.

One could sell 500 items a month for $5 profit each. That's $2500. While it's not enough to provide an amazing living, it should be plenty to get a person by. I pass by $5 profit items all day long.

M7 is the size, it's a PASGT helmet, should fetch a good price if you list it correctly and with good photos. Check the completed listings on Ebay to see what I mean PASGT helmet | eBay. Does it have the liner & chin strap? If it does, i'd buy a cover to increase the value. They are cheap ($5 Ebay). Yours is a medium.
The Pokemon glasses if a full set will go for $40+ all day if you list them for that.
The Fire King is probably either the Primrose, Peach Blossom or Fleurette pattern. Nothing special but as long as the wife likes it...
"I love ink too ! easy to sell and ship!!!!" Always!

Thanks for the info!!!
The Helmet does have the liner and chin strap. I'll be sure to buy for a cover for it on ebay before I sell it.
