CB 4: Personal property acquired for purpose of disposal
or “Profit from selling personal items bought to resell is taxable income”
You could also call this:

“Income from selling personal property in your business”

If you run a business that deals in personal property, any money you make from selling that property counts as income. This applies to any kind of personal property that your business normally buys and sells. For example, if your business sells cars, the money you get from selling a car would be considered income.
