Can You Profit Off Flipping Silver Plate? 35 Lb Knives Box Pt 1

I decide to do a little experiment with a box I found on eBay. How much could I possibly profit off of a bulk knives box, and can I put the amount in an hourly form?

I don't really like to think about my hourly because it doesn't matter to me, especially because for one thing, I am investing in the silver plate and the metal, and the pieces themselves, not so much doing this for income/ dollars. Number two, I have a day job I live off of, so this is basically my side project, so again I don't care about my hourly. Number three, I do this mostly for fun and enjoyment, so I don't care about my hourly.

But if I did care about my hourly wage flipping silver plate, what would it be? And is this a good representation of it? This is the set up of the experiment, in part two we will go through how I decide to split the box up and list it.
