I wish. You're forgetting Ebay's final value fee percentage, which is pretty steep. All in all, listing a Wii on Ebay is about $14 ($24 is you go featured, which is worth it). Paypal takes another 3%, which comes out to about $10, and shipping (which everyone expect to be free nowadays) will cost you ~$15.

All together that's about $40, or $50 if you go featured.

After paying $270 for a Wii (with tax) and listing it for $50, you're really not making much profit at all. Unless you get it tax-free online, which takes some patience. There are better ways to make money.

Granted, however I feel it isn't worth it to go featured. There are better ways to make money, but like I say, the average price doesn't include shipping, and it always significantly lower than what the item actually costs to buy, as nobody is buying high priced items, but people get deals all the time. You know how ebay works, it seems, so you know there is profit potential there.

I mean, for 50 bucks, I'd go through the trouble, considering I do it everyday for videogames I might make 10 dollars each off of.
