Resale profit and fee checklist
Free example for secondhand flippers, marketplace sellers and craft vendors. Before paying for an item to resell, estimate all costs, not just the buying price.
A fictional CA$75 sale
Expected selling price: CA$75.00
Purchase cost: CA$35.00
Estimated marketplace selling fee: 13% of sale price, CA$9.75
Shipping you pay: CA$9.00
Packaging and other costs: CA$2.00
Estimated remainder: CA$19.25 before tax, refunds, returns and omitted costs.
Formula: sale price minus acquisition cost, selling fees, shipping and packaging. The remainder can be a loss if total costs exceed revenue. Check platform fees and realistic sold prices before buying; this tool does not forecast demand or guarantee a sale.
For handmade businesses managing a manual stock list and product pricing, see the optional Handmade Inventory & Pricing Kit (CA$14.99). It uses one unit per SKU and one stock pool and is not suitable for every secondhand flipping workflow. You do not need to buy anything to use this checklist.
No login or payment. Project 29 records aggregate visits and possible referral hints, not individual customer identities; browser tracking opt-outs are respected.
For keeping your own sale-cost records, the optional SaleCost Ledger and Scenario Calculator (CA$19.99) adds offline records, estimated net results, CSV export and JSON backups. Manual entry; no marketplace sync or guaranteed profit.
