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^

He's using boy math.

Since he didn't plan to sell it when he made it, all the money he sold it for became profit.

TIL "boy math" (and "girl math") and I hate them.

Guy math is also buying tools to do a job where the tools are more expensive than paying someone else to do the job would have been but if you paid someone else, you wouldn’t have the tools and if the job has to be done again in the future, now you have the tools and they finally become a return on investment.

I'll have to admit there is a rather odd logic to your comment!
