Transcript

So I just worked outside today 8 hours in the 90 degree sun and while I was at work I sold some stuff on eBay. Guess which one made me more money? Let's break it down. So at my work I make $22 an hour to decent wage and I worked 8 hours so I made $176 pre tax. After taxes I'm taking home probably $140 from today. And here is what sold on my eBay today. First thing that sold was this Ninja Foodi NeverStick Cookware set. I paid $20 for it last week at a garage sale and I sold it for $75.99 plus shipping. Next thing I sold was this PlayStation 3 Slim. I paid $60 for it off Facebook and sold it for $129.99 plus shipping. And the last thing I sold was this Conair makeup mirror. It's a Conair makeup mirror. I got it at goodwill last week for $10 and sold it for $30 plus shipping. So after busting my ass all day I made $140 at work and after selling what I sold on eBay today I made $157. So I made $17 more dollars off selling stuff that I went shopping for last weekend. Also I understand if I paid tax on that like it would probably be a little bit less than what I made at work. But understand that stuff took me two hours to maybe buy and maybe an hour to list. So I'm into it like three hours total compared to the 8 hours.
