Have you ever bought something on eBay, then turned around and sold it on eBay and made money? [View all]

I won an auction for a set of art prints from 1974.
I was shocked that I won the auction for $75 plus $19 shipping.
They usually go for a lot more.
I received the prints, waited a couple weeks, and listed the whole set for $650.
They sold to France within 18 hours.
Shipped out yesterday
Thank you eBay!

You ever done anything like that before?
