Many months ago I bought a plumbing toilet for the basement only to discover that it did not meet code. Since then, it has been sitting in my garage waiting for me to do something with it…

Finally I got up the nerve to post it on eBay (the packaging and shipping of the toilet scared me a bit)… Sadly, it did not sell.

So I lowered the price by $50 and tried again. This time, it sold!  

The great part is that the buyer was pretty quick on the draw and paid the asking a day after the auction ended. This allowed me to swing by FedEx and ship the item.  

All in all, I re-gained 57% of the cost of the boat anchor. Not to shabby.
