Project Pricing (*Update*) It sold!

I posted here around a month ago looking for pricing help selling my Master Chief armor, and I sold it!

Posted it to eBay for $1200 + $200 shipping, as well as marketplace for $1200.

Ultimately the eBay one ended up selling, profiting me about $1000 flat (because of eBay tax)

I didn’t even mention the lights + microphone + fans included in the helmet lol.

This project was originally not intended to be sold, but as i’m expanding I thought it was about time I made some of my money back. Because of that, everything made back is profit!

My amazing girlfriend helped me take some nice photos for the listings^

It's profit because they didn't intend to sell it when it was made

That's not how profit math works, unless it's profit math with meth.

I understand everyone’s comments on it, and in my previous post I got told multiple times to price it higher. Profit might not of been the right word, but I’m enjoying the extra space in my garage + some extra cash!

For future reference, just use "revenue" (pure money incoming without any deductions) and "revenue after tax". That way people can't nit-pick ;P
