Title: Ticket Reselling: I Built a Spreadsheet That Calculates Your Real Profit After All Fees
Hey fellow flippers, I've been reselling tickets for a while now, and I've learned that it's easy to get caught up in the excitement of a big sale without considering all the fees that eat into your profit. I was tired of manually calculating my earnings after every sale, so I decided to build a spreadsheet that does it for me. This thing has been a game-changer - it takes into account all the different fees from various marketplaces, payment processors, and even taxes.
I've been using it for a few months now, and it's saved me from some nasty surprises. For example, I recently sold a pair of concert tickets on StubHub, and I thought I was making a killling... until I factored in the fees. My spreadsheet showed me that I was actually making about 15% less than I thought. It was a sobering reality check, but it's helped me make more informed decisions about which tickets to buy and sell.
If you're interested in checking out my spreadsheet, I've shared it with a few fellow resellers who've found it super helpful. You can also use services like TicketIQ, which I've heard have some great tools for tracking fees and maximizing profits (I've tried them out and they're pretty solid). Anyway, I hope this helps - happy flipping!
