I have just about finished my profit/loss statement and the joke is on me is that I might have made the same if I had just sold down my inventory then spent the rest of my days on recreation.
The reason is because I lost my inventory sources that were free, fairly low-cost, and a commission wherein I only paid out when items sold. Instead I paid a ton of money up front for inventory, more than I've been able to list.
The only hope I have is that if only the first half of 2021 is the same but something like normalcy comes by later Summer I can buy less and really push harder to list more of the backlog and make money on all that inventory that cost me in 2020. I won't have to buy all this stuff if my library commission gets back to normal and that could well be next Summer (they closed again).
