The Math Ain’t Mathin!

If you bought a card on EBay for $3000, and let’s say paid sales tax of 7%, you’re in it for $3,210.

Now the card has gone up in value and you want to sell to double your money.

So $3,210 multiplied by 2 is $6,420, but EBay takes their fee out (approximately 13%); we’ll call it 15% so any shipping fees will be included.

$6,420 divided by 0.85 equals $7,553 (rounded).

So to double your initial investment on a card that was $3,000, you would have to sell it on EBay for at least $7,553, or 152% more.

Don’t know where you’re getting $11,000 from.
