You forgot to mention all the time spent in the stores, time & gas traveling to stores, and the amount of time spent listing, photos etc. If you spend 3 hours going around to stores, you have to value your time as you are really working. So 3 hours x $20, you already wasted 3 hours and you didn't get paid for it.

Im only 1 for 6 that did well. Mostly I break even when I try. Items that go on sale tend to dip in price on resale at the same time. Its definitely for people who have been doing resale for awhile I wouldn't suggest for anyone new. You need to understand margins and sell through well. So many stores will have fake up prices retail amounts and 80% off this and that but still wont be worth the time.

That's why you do Amazon FBA and shipping comes out to less than a dollar per unit.
