Facebook Finds and Sales

I bought two things off of Facebook this week: a Littlest Pet Shop toy and a Baby Einstein play mat.

The seller of the LPS toy wanted $10 I had $9 in my wallet and 4 quarters in my purse. By the time I got there, I had forgotten about the quarters and gave her the dollars. When I got home, I realized my mistake. I called her to let her know I thought I may have shorted her a dollar. She told me she hadn't counted the money as "I trust most people to be honest." I did not mean to short her and she told me she wasn't going to stress about a buck but her tone told me otherwise. I am an honest person and would not do this on purpose. Who doesn't count the money when they sell something?

The play mat is missing some pieces and the links but I should still be able to make a profit.

I sold 4 things on Facebook: papasan chair, a floor cleaner, some canisters and a toy.

I had this papasan chair for over 18 years. The cushion is new. My son was a little upset I sold it but no one uses it and it will be one less thing to move. Sold for $25

I've tried selling these yellow canisters on Ebay for a few months. There were watchers but no interest. I sold them to the person who bought the chair for $15

I sold the floor cleaner for $5 because I thought the buyer was going to buy something else from me and she changed her mind. I should have asked before I lowered the price. I also noticed the lock clip was missing so I wasn't sure if the canister would stay in place while being used. It must work because I have not heard back from her.

I bought this stacking toy for .75 at the consignment store. I sold it for $3 to a lady who previously bought a shelf from me.

Facebook Find Littlest Pet Shop

Last week I saw posted on my local garage sale page a box of Littlest Pet Shop. I know nothing of LPS but I do know some of the pets can go for big money especially in lots. I sent her a message asking how many pets she had. She said between 10 - 15 (There was only 10) but there were a bunch of buildings and they were complete. (lie)

We agree to meet at Walgreens and instead of looking through the box (it wasn't as neat as the picture above)  I purchased it. (Really should have looked.) Only one building was complete, the blue and purple one.

I grouped it on Ebay with the two other buildings, the Newborn Nursery and the Get Well Center, along with 4 of the pets.

Three of the dog houses were missing the door and of course there were no dogs just cats. I grouped those together.

The other big building is missing two panels, so I'm going to take that to the consignment store. There was also an igloo I'm selling separately but of course no huskies.

I should have looked over everything before committing to buy but I trusted the seller was being honest and I didn't want to waste her time. In the future, I am going to inspect everything before purchasing. (Oh and all the toys were dirty like they had been played with outside)
