The Baths

It is even possible to make a profit out of buying things on eBay and selling them again on eBay!
We were renovating our bathroom and I was looking for a bargain bath. While browsing through the Home -> Bathroom category I came across a lot of 7 baths. They were new, but some had been scratched in transport. I took a punt and ended up winning the auction and buying myself 7 fibreglass baths for $200.
I kept the best for myself and started to sell the rest. One by one they sold. The ones in basically new condition went for up to $120. And the most scratched went for around $10 to someone who wanted a bath for a holiday house - and was absolutely stocked with the bargain!.
So we now have a lovely big new bath in the bathroom that wasn’t just a bargain – it made us $100!!
