Bought a book back in 1996 for circa £25 from a bookshop. I didnt realise how rare it was when I sold it a few weeks back for £421... About a 1600% profit

Sold a few books on there that are still available in the shops for less!
Xbox was in short supply at launch, and that cable was rare as hell for a while.

I admit to exploiting the Christmas toy "must have" a few times.
Best ever gain was buying laser eye surgery though. Saved half price.

I picked up an arabic coffee table with an inscribed copper top, rather dirty, from a local house clearance place for £12. Cleaned it up and sold it on Ebay for £34 as I recall.

Does getting your leg over with the sister of a local(ish) lady seller you went to pick up an item from in person count as an unexpected gain?

Was feeling nostalgic and bought one of the classic PowerBooks from the States for £150 (avoided import duty too), got bored of it after a few weeks and sold it for £300 on eBay
