YES! One of the 50c items (McDavid Cowboy Collar) sold for $20. It was listed on Craigslist and a man came and bought it. That's a profit of almost 400% (is that right?) minus time, energy and gas. Now, if we only had 200 more of those babies!
On another note, I helped my sister clean out my parent's attic and found boxes of hard back, old classics (some first editions). Thinking they would be worth some money I brought them on and checked on-line only to discover most were not worth more than $10. With the exception of "Gone With the Wind" (which may be worth as much as $100) we'll keep the books and pass them on to our children and grandchildren.
In the attic we also found old printing blocks that are mostly metal (brass and copper) and wood. They are very heavy and antique but they are not worth much either. Might be worth more as scrap metal.
Finding a niche will be important to ensuring less risk and more profit.
