I started the day with $25 in VIP points available. I used them to buy the Porsche (w/ fountain), and also used a Lego calendar 100 Bonus points coupon. Then used resulting points to buy an Ewok Village (w/ fountain) + another coupon, then used resulting points to buy a (dented) Fairground Mixer (w/ fountain) + another coupon. Got 500 points for box damage on the FM. Sold the items as described. My credit card bill will have $686 in charges. My net income from eBay will be $439.
End of the day, I got a mint EV, a (mildly) dented FM, and $35 in VIP points in my account for a cost of $247 (+ $5 in gas). I call it a win.
Thanks for pissin' on my deal, tho.
