I acquired an interesting variety of things this past week that should net me a nice profit.

- Krups coffee/expresso maker ($15). I don't have a picture of it (the pic below is from Amazon.com) because I'm going to sell it to my daughter for cheap. These things retail for $150 - $200.

- Pneumatic Nailer ($20). These retail new for about $130. I think I can get $50 for it on Craigslist.

- Vintage Johnson 1.5 hp outboard motor ($40). It is missing the fuel tank but the engine and prop turn. I think I'm going to sell it as parts on ebay.

- A box of quartz crystals ($15). I don't have a picture of the box but I have about 30 small clusters and about 20 large single crystals. I have already sold one cluster (pic below) on ebay for $20.

- Coleman camp lantern ($10) and stove ($20). I think I can get about $40 for the lantern and about $60 for the stove

- Two cameras for $30. One is a Sony digital. It is a lot nicer than the little pocket cameras. I'm going to give it to my daughter. The other is a late model Nikon 35mm SLR. I'm going to sell it as parts (see pics below). The strap should bring about $10, the body about $20, and the lens about $50.

- A Husqvarna gas-powered leaf blower ($75). These retail for about $300. I should be able to get about $150 for it.

I wish I could find a blower like that. I like the quartz crystals. I buy rocks and minerals whenever I find them for cheap. I have an ever growing collection. Nice finds.
 

Selling update... I think I overestimated the value of the Krups coffee maker. I have had it listed for several weeks now at $75 but it isn't getting much attention. The crystals are doing well. I have sold about $100 worth of those for $5 to $20 each and I still have a bunch to list. Sold the Coleman lantern for $20 but still have the stove. The camera body sold for $20 and the lens for $88 so I did well on that. The leaf blower sold for $140 on Craigslist. My experience has been that working Husqvarna equipment sells very quickly.
 

if that stove is in good condition and you had the box it's worth $150.00
