The Sun’s Financial Diary

No, I haven’t forgot my little business on Amazon.com, though it has been quiet for a long time. The main reason is I wasn’t able to find lot of cheap stuff (those that won’t cost me too much if at the end I have to keep them myself) that also have re-sell values. Since I [...]

Just as I am occupied almost entirely by this blog and totally forgot that I still have a couple of items listed on Amazon.com market place, an email came in last night, informing me that an USB flash drive that I listed a couple of months ago was sold for $20.95.
I bought the item, [...]

It has been a while since I made last sale on Amazon.com. Not because I emptied my inventory (in fact, I had quite a few left from last year’s shopping spree), I simply forgot to list them. Then yesterday, I finally got time to check what I have in the closet and put 6 items [...]

Since most of the cheap stuff I bought in the past two months were from Buy.com and some items are still on sale over there, I initially wanted to wait a while before listing them on Amazon.com. Well, since Amazon offers free listing (which is one feature I like), I didn't really wait too much [...]

I have posted a lot of deals in the past month or so time that I felt were good for a little amount of money. Actually, not just I think those are good buys, I bought most of them myself as well. Here's a list of my recent purchases:

Canon PC160 Personal Copier, $5 AMIR (after [...]

The nine items I bought on Buy.com last month were all gone (I bought ten and one was returned later after I found their rebate has conditions that I have to sign up their service to get the rebate). I sold six of them till last Saturday, and three more this week: a 4-port USB [...]

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 [...]

I bought two more items tonight on Buy.com, one flash drive ($24) and one MP3 player ($25), and that made the total buy-and-sell spending this month to $300! In the past, I only bought single item here and there with the after rebate price no more than $10. But since Buy.com has a $10 off [...]

I spotted some good deals on Buy.com in the past couple of days and spent $175 on six items, a 802.11g wireless adaptor ($38), a Bluetooth headset ($28), a USB flash drive ($24), a hard drive enclosure ($35), a headset ($25), and an antenna ($25), which I feel could bring me some profits if I [...]

It has been a while since I have multiple items sold on Amazon.com in one day. Considering that I now have a very small inventory (only five items before the sell and once at the peak time, I had about 25 items listed), I am very happy to see them on the way to their [...]
