Tip: Pay Attention!

I am so upset at myself! I was able to score a really cool historical collector's item: a general's report from the Civil War, in book form which was given to the state, documenting a number of things, including names and deaths of the soldiers in 1864. Really great piece.

So I thought I had spent less on this item than I had. I ended up selling it on eBay for the minimum reserve price- which was equal to the amount I had spent on the book. On top of that, I underestimated the cost of shipping the book. Total profit for this item: -$5

Tip: Always pay attention to what you are spending to make money, and how much profit you will make!
