Whether its quickly selling for a nice profit, or even selling at a loss to recoup the investment and to reinvest it, or someplace in-between, you can never really predict it. I've quickly sold some items which I never expected to sell. I have other items which are great inventory at a low price, which refuses to move. its all a roll of the dice, and you have to accept the risk and play the game. experience counts too. you will learn from your mistakes and not repeat them--either that or you will end up on welfare.
