Amazon.com Buy-and-Sell Update

Last month, I spent more than $300 on stuff that I have no intention for my own use. The ten items purchased on Buy.com throughout October are all buy-and-sell electronic devices (flash drives, wireless adapters, router, hard drive enclosure, and headset, etc.) Except a Bluetooth headset that I later found that was excluded from regular sellers, I have put all of them up for sale on Amazon.com and the sales went pretty well. So far six of them have already been sold, making a profit of $77 in total. Since all of them have mail-in-rebate, the profit is the number assuming I will eventually get the rebates back.

Since I started selling stuff on Amazon.com in June, the total sales figure is $1023 and profits $680. Back in June, I told myself that all the money I made from Amazon sales will go to my daughter's 529 plans, but I haven't done any transfer so far. Maybe by the end of this year.
