Here’s an example of a recent win for me based on an obscure issue. Picked this hand cut beauty up a few years ago for $1,829. Subsequently bought a nicer looking one, so this one was available to sell. I’ve been trying to sell it on eBay for a while, without success, so moved it a few months ago over to the new REA marketplace. Just sold a couple of weeks ago for $17,500. After REA’s 5% cut, I netted $16,625. Just got my check today! There are only 3 graded by PSA, and since I still have another one, I was willing to part with this one.
Of course, the government will take $6k of my profits here, so it’s not quite as extreme as it would seem before taxes, but still worked out pretty well for me.
