There's a fair amount that I list from scrapping or picking up items for free. Whether it be from CL or elsewhere. Heck, my wife just picked up a epson picture printer a few weeks back for free (used, but in the box and functional). I just got around to listing it last week and it sold Monday for 106 + 15 shipping. However, there are items that I will buy if I'm 90% confident I can turn it.....my main goal is to double, but I'll accept a 50-60% ROI.
The old saying "it takes money to make money applies with me.I could tell countless sales where we paid for an item and flipped it for stupid profit. ($10 on a new/in the package tempur pedic pillow that went for $110....wife thought I'd like it.....I slept well with a 10 fold investment....Some people really like their pillows). Don't get me wrong, we don't just buy anything and everything....if you own a smart phone, make it pay and use it for knowledge. A 20 second search can tell you whether or not to buy.
