I've tried to buy what I call "specialized" tools and turn them over for good bucks. Travis has named me the new king of "specialized" tools but "kidding" or not, if you find a niche like this you don't want to actually name the item as the less competition for such things on eBay...the better !
Anyway, I bought one tool for $35 and sold it for $275. That one was a used model. At the same ranch sale I bought a brand new one for $75 and sold it for $1,050. In my mind that's serious money. Doesn't happen every day, or even once a month, but half a dozen to nine times a year it does, and the several hundred dollar markups are reasonably common.
Obviously it helps to find sellers who haven't a clue as to what they've got, or when they orginally bought the item years ago it was cheaper and they weren't keeping up with the times.
You?

You're a winner...there's no doubt about that ! Well, maybe SOME doubt.
