Thing #103: Overdrive Pedal

Thing #103: Overdrive Pedal

I tried selling this on Craigslist, but I only got one response and then he backed out. So I thought I'd give eBay a try.

I assumed I'd get somewhere between $10 and $20 for it, and I added $5 for Priority Mail shipping. Here's the final breakdown:

Ebay listing fee: $0.35
Final sale price: $7.50 (+ $5.00 shipping)
Ebay final sale fees: $1.12
PayPal transaction fee: $0.66
Actual shipping cost: $9.45 (1 lb, 6.2 oz to Merced, CA)
Final profit: $0.92

When did Priority Mail get so expensive?

Anyway, from now on, I'll just give things away on Craigslist if I have to.
