i have come across a case of these bytar booster packs on clearance for $1.99 each. i counted 31 in the case. i have a $10 in store coupon that would bring the cost down to $1.76/each, including tax. looking at their current value on brickpicker, and some sold listings on ebay, it looks like i should be able to sell them for $5-$7 each plus a $1.49 s/**** charge without a problem. shipping shouldn't be too much, since they can be mailed in an envelope with a stamp or two, and after fees it looks like i could pocket approx $3.50 profit/each. my question is this...is all of this work worth the approx $100 profit i will make? i am more of the buy and hold investor, and haven't purchased anything with the intention of selling right away. also, having to list the same set 31 times minimum, and most likely more since they all won't sell the first time they get listed, just seems like a lot of work for little gain. i guess i am trying to talk myself out of buying them...lol, and am looking for someone to convince me otherwise. profit is profit after all. any thoughts?
