The minimum profitable eBay sale is $19.63

When the hell are you going to adjust that for inflation?

Your 30:1 sell/buy ratio gives you a measure of inflation protection.

Hello,

The main concerns are finding items suitable for resale that yields
reasonable profits in the first place. I've found that concerns for
specific buy/sell ratios, inflation, etc. are irrelevant. As for
reasonable profits, a two to four fold profit for specific items (esp.
the "better" decorative collectibles") seems to be the norm.

Only if you have a negative Leavenworth Ratio.

2:1 or 4:1 SBR's mean you do not have the faintest clue what your true
costs are. HINT: Start with your pro rated water bill.

ALWAYS seek out a 30:1 or higher SBR!
