I'm really ashamed of myself
 
I have taken the first step in becoming a greedy capitalist. :(

A while ago I purchased a dust cover for the S&W Model 39-2 I have for $30.00 & just sold it for $200.00. They are pretty rare but still...

We do have to have a beer, (or 7), Todd!!

Confession is good for the soul, a deal like yours is good for the wallet.
The best of both worlds.

Cheers Richard

Did you declare that income to the IRS? Does "Fearless leader" know and did he get his cut?

Glad to see you making a profit without the filthy govt in the mix. Now, go out and enjoy the $$!

Hey, my best gun steal was $275 delivered for a Springfield Mil-Spec in stainless missing the barrel, which I found elsewhere for $60.

I went to an auction that was incorrectly advertised as having watercooled VW parts. Among my many scores that day I picked up a early beetle roof rack and a engine lid rack for $1 each. I sold them about a week later for $250 each.

I wish my luck was that good all the time.

Capitalism!
 
At one point I bought a Kugerand gold coin for $175 from a coin shop. When gold hit
$800 per ounce I sold it back to the same shop! A $625 profit in about 6 months!

Timely topic... I've been suffering from ticket scalper guilt. We bought 4 Justin Bieber tickets assuming my daughter would round up a couple of friends to go. That hasn't happened, so I sold the two extra tickets on Craigslist for what we paid for all four.

I'm proud of you~~~!!!

I bought a set of 15 x 7/8 Fuchs from a guy on CL for $100 (he knew nothing about them)

I sold them to a guy at Hershey swap meet for $1k

Mark...you have to get rid of that guilt complex if you are to fit in around here... :p

I hope it will help offset the expense of that new lawn you put in earlier this year....now that is how to look at it...creative financing! ;)

You are a trader, not a capitalist. There is a big difference.
