Verdict
FLIP

Flip at $10.00+ profit, caution from $3.00, pass below. Assumes at least 5 recent sales back the price; the app checks that for you.

Where the sold price should come from

Use the median of recent sold listings for the exact model, not asking prices. Asking prices are what sellers hope for; sold prices are what buyers paid. The sold listings link builder gives you that search, and the eBay fee calculator breaks the fees down.
