I scrap and salvage.
Sometimes the things I find are fun and unexpected. Sure there's lots of washers and dryers and busted electronics, but sometimes there's toys.
I found a box of Barbies recently and I set those aside for online auctions.
So far, it's being going pretty well. Irish Barbie with the red hair sold last week. Here's a link to that post.
Today, I listed a new doll. It's the Barbie Princess of The Nile. It was only on the auction for 30 minutes!
There are about 10 or so Barbies in the box and after shipping, the net is around $15 per Barbie. So the throwaway box alongside the road is doing pretty well so far. I expect at least $100 and maybe more in profit from the box. Most are Vintage, like from 1999 or so. I'm not sure why someone tosses a collection, but I am glad to have come across it.
I hope everyone has a fun day of collecting. I hope this doll ends up in the hands of a collector or someone who will enjoy the Princess.
