Update: Reader JZ points out that the Surface Pro 4 is coming out next week which may affect the resale value here. This is already an older model so I am not too worried and it isn't in the Pro line, but this is something to be aware of.
eBay is selling a Microsoft Surface 2 64GB for $300. Limit of 5.
The ranking is great
The same tablet sells for between $360 on Amazon.
Fees are about $22 if you sell for $360. Shipping will probably be about $1 each if you send in all 5,depending on what else you are sending in. That's a takehome of 335, approximately.
That's $35 on the sale. You can buy 5 of them so you can make $175 on the sale price.
So here's the bonus cash:
Start with ShopAtHome.com for 2% cashback from eBay = $6
Targeted 10% in eBay Bucks = $30!
Use up eBay Gift Cards or eBay Bucks- You can either use eBay gift cards which hopefully you bought at a discount or you can use a credit card that earns 2% which would be another $6
You can buy eBay Gift cards for even greater savings. You are always able to buy eBay gift cards for 5% off from Target with a Target RedCard. That's a savings of $15

Prices can and will likely go down a bit due to resellers but if you are patient you should do just fine.
