Nothing like making a quick buck (or 50)

too bad with the seller fees and the tracking/insurance shipping (which he said is covered by himself) he will be barely making anything. If his intentions we on flipping it in the first place I am suprised he got rid of it so fast since you would think everyone who would be interested would have seen it when it was on feebay the first time around.Nonetheless, still a good job by them on making a few dollars!

Yes, But when he sold it for a second time he said he would cover the fees for inxurance/tracking. So if he bought the card originally for 200 w/ free shipping and sold it for 250 he would lose maybe 20 on ebay fees and 10 to ship it (unless the next buyer who bought it for 250 lived in the area and was going to do a local pick up). Still if they made 20 bucks its 20 more then they had to start off with:D

buyer is m_m_420 from New Brunswick. Maybe a bit of buyers remorse paid off for the original buyer? lol
 
I find that sometimes people pay more for a card that has a spelling mistake in the name thinking they're probably getting some kind of a deal regardless of what they paid because most people don't have that particular card pop up in their searches due to a mistake
 
As stated before, there was not much profit for the reseller here after you figure in their ebay fees and other costs. Maybe made $20-25.
 
12% to ebay on the BIN 30$
3% to paypal 7.50$
8-10$ to ship it if the buyer is canadian, 15-19 if the buyer is from the States or worldwide.

Hope for the seller the buyer is Canadian otherwise he`s not making a dime.

Considering Cormier will probably never make it in the NHL, the guy figured flip it before he lost his shirt.

?.. Cormier is the type of player who's a virtual lock to be in the NHL in the future. Between his size, physical presence, and defensive abilities, it's hard to imagine him out of the NHL. I mean he could just end up as a long-time 3rd/4th liner, but still.

Strange comment.

Very true. I've noticed the same thing.
