Round 3 of Antiques

Here are the figures for the third batch of antiques bought (the pearlware coffee cup moved from round 2 to round 3 since it failed to sell last time)

The Antique Bought	Total Price paid	Item sold for	Profit or (loss)
Walnut Box	£42.25
Bow Tureen	£180.00	£297.00	+£76.70
Pearlware coffee cup	£33.86	£22.43	-£14.65
TOTALS:	£44.95	£256.00	+£219.31

• The total price paid includes postage costs
• The “Item sold for” is the price received for the antique, less costs. (doesn’t include postage received)
• The profit is the “Item sold for” – “total price paid”

Round 2 of Antiques

Here are the figures for the second batch of antiques bought (the pearlware coffee cup moved from round 1 to round 2 since it took so long to arrive)

The Antique Bought	Total Price paid	Item sold for	Profit or (loss)
Pearlware coffee cup	£33.86	unsold	£0
Longton Hall teabowl	£11.09	£256.00	+£219.31
TOTALS:	£44.95	£256.00	+£219.31

• The total price paid includes postage costs
• The “Item sold for” is the price received for the antique, less costs. (doesn’t include postage received)
• The profit is the “Item sold for” – “total price paid”

I bought the Longton Hall teabowl before my round 1 items had finished and moved the pearlware coffee cup to round 2 because it had taken so long to arrive so, from my original £300 I have spent an additional £44.95, leaving me with £68.25 in the kitty!

First Batch of Antiques

Here are the figures for the first batch of antiques bought, and hopefully sold!

The Antique Bought	Total Price paid	Item sold for	Profit or (loss)
Vintage Coffee Set	£28.81	£161.59	+£109.72
Victorian Coffee Pot	n/a	n/a*	n/a*

Antique Chinese Bowl	£3.99	£2.20	-£2.01**
TOTALS:	£186.80	£344.01	+£113.19

• The total price paid includes postage costs
• The “Item sold for” is the price received for the antique, less costs. (doesn’t include postage received)
• The profit is the “Item sold for” – “total price paid”

So, from my original £300 I have spent a whopping £186.80, leaving me with £113.20 in the kitty!

*UPDATE – unfortunately the Victorian Coffee Pot was wrongly listed, the item shown in the photo on eBay is no longer available, and so the £9.90 will be added back into the kitty since the vendor has agreed to refund the price, postage, and even the return postage.

**The Chinese bowl was paid for by cheque, so there were fortunately no paypal fees!
