You may know what the above toy is. We had no idea. Logan found this at the local goodwill outlet (aka the Treasure Store). He bought it for about 88 cents. He hoped to use it for Pokemon cards. When he got home, he realized the Pokemon cards didn't fit. I decided to look it up and see what it was for. My search revealed that this toy was not only sold out at amazon and toy stores alike, it was also a hot item for 2009. I asked Logan if he wanted to try his luck at ebay since he didn't own any yugioh cards, and that's what it was for. We told him any money he made on it was his to keep. We had no idea....
Here's Logan with his listing up on ebay. He was pretty excited and checked it more than James checks stocks. As soon as he was up in the morning, he was checking his listing. As soon as he got home from school, he was checking his listing. We knew the play by play of how many 'watchers,' how many bids, and how much the top bid was.
When the auction closed, the top bidder paid $81.18. EIGHTY ONE DOLLARS AND EIGHTEEN CENTS! Can you believe it?! We couldn't. Logan was the happiest kid in the world.
We decided we're going to put Logan to work as a bargain hunter/ebay seller. Who would have thought that that 88 cents would go so far?! You can't beat that return on investment. :-)
Here's Logan ready to ship off the treasure. Notice the bulging wallet....aaaah, my little Mr. Moneybags. ha ha haWay to go Logey!
