Disaster. I put the Lexicon game on eBay with a starting price of £3.99 and it sold for... £3.99. I was a bit disappointed as, having done some research, a figure between £7 and £12 looked possible.
Still, I bought the game for £3.25 so I'd made a 74p (18.5%) profit hadn't I? Unfortunately not - once you deduct 73p in eBay fees as well as the 42p that went to PayPal, the end result is a 41p loss.
So instead of £10 to spend on my next antique, I have £9.59. I was a bit sad to see Lexicon go - it's a great little object and would have looked nice on a bookshelf. But I'm remaining optimistic. I'm heading up north next week and know of an excellent little antique/collectable shop that might just throw up a bargain.
