Find completed sales
Match model, condition and included accessories. An unsold listing only proves what a seller asked, not what a buyer paid.
See what a sale leaves
The sale price is not the profit. Enter acquisition cost, postage, packing and the fee rules for your actual marketplace to see what remains. You can compare a conservative sold-price estimate with a hopeful asking price before committing cash.

Profit = item price + buyer shipping - percentage fee - fixed fee - acquisition - postage - packing - other costs. Fee basis is selectable; a positive margin is not proof an item will sell.

A workflow you can use
Enter the entire cost
Include what you pay for the item, the package, shipping you fund and any cleaning or repair. Keep your currency consistent.
Verify fee rules
Use the marketplace's current rules for your category and account. Some percentage fees include buyer-paid shipping; others use a different basis.
Stress-test the downside
Recalculate with a lower sale price and an extra return or repair cost. If the margin disappears, passing may be the better use of your cash.
Put the idea into practice
A concrete example
An item costs 18, sells for 45 and costs 8 to post. The leftover is smaller once you add fees and packing. Changing the expected sale from 45 to 35 can matter more than negotiating one unit off the purchase cost.

Open this toolCheck a thrift flip before buying
A thrift flip starts at the purchase decision. Compare likely proceeds with all cash costs and how long the inventory might sit; an attractive asking price alone is not a sourcing thesis.
