White Castle Candle Update

After originally purchasing 8 White Castle candles on Saturday afternoon, I picked up the last 7 that my local White Castle had today. I sold all 15 within 24 hours at a price of $28.99

Not bad for the amount of work put in so far, (the real work will be shipping them all on Monday) I made a profit of $11.25 on each candle x 15 = $168.75. Luckily I have a large supply of 6x4x3 boxes and the candles fit in perfectly and weigh 12oz. Perfect because I offered Free Shipping and can ship them First Class instead of Priority.

You need to take advantage of things like this in the future. This was perfect because not every state has a White Castle and once they sold out online of course people were going to turn to eBay to buy them.

Just like Championship editions of Newspapers. When the Yankees won the World Series last year, copies of NY newspapers were selling for $8-$10.00 each on eBay. Not a bad return on a paper that cost just .50 cents.

So keep an eye out for things specific to your local area that someone else might not be able to get in their own hometown.

Come back tomorrow for my Cell phone Find of the week and I am working on a possible new item that is coming out that might be a good seller on eBay, but not 100% sure yet. I will post on that during the week after a little more research.

Good Luck

Item 2 Sell on eBay Now - White Castle Scented Candles

These White Castle scented candles sold out online within 48 hours. They retail for $10.00 each. So of course as soon as I heard the news, I checked to see how they are doing on eBay. They are going between $21.99 and $28.99 based on whether or not the seller offers free shipping.

This is going to be a hard one to read. I am not sure how many people who purchased them online are going to resell them on eBay or if White Castle is going to restock them online anytime soon.

So if you live in one of these states (IL, IN, KY, MI, MN, MO, NJ, NY, OH, TN, WI) and have a White Castle nearby you may want to run out and purchase a few to resell. Remember don't get greedy because eBay may be flooded with these soon. Set them at a reasonable price.

Here is my listing below.

Proceeds for the sale of these candles go to Autism Speaks, so you are also doing some good while making some money for yourself. It's a "win win" situation.

Good Luck,
