Estimate real profit after buy price, fees, shipping and refurb costs before you commit.
Buy $1,000, sell $1,350, 12% platform fees, $40 shipping and $30 refurb → fees about $162, total costs about $1,232, net profit about $118 (\~8.7% margin).

• Use realistic sell price, not best-case listing price.
• Factor authenticity risk and return risk mentally.
• Know your minimum acceptable net margin before buying.
