Finding Things to Sell on Ebay

I recently came across some good articles about finding merchandise to sell on Ebay.  It's really got me thinking that perhaps I should branch out from the garage sales and thrift stores.

Anyone have any luck with some of the suggestions made in these articles?

Created in 1986, this game can sometimes sell for over $200. 

Game is by Milton Bradley.  Be sure to check that you have all the pieces.  However, you can see on Ebay that some of the parts sell for $10-$20 each.

Recipe for Success - Selling on Amazon

Many Ebay sellers have moved to selling on Amazon.  I'm hearing great things from the other loops I'm on.

This way of selling is known as "Amazon FBA".  

What is Fulfillment by Amazon  or FBA you ask?  It’s a system that allows you to store your products in Amazon’s fulfillment centers.  Then Amazon packs, ships, and provides customer service for those products.  

This particular ebook was written by some very successful Ebay sellers.

Vintage Speak & Spell Electronic Toy

I actually found one of these at a garage sale once and paid $2 for it. It wasn’t in mint condition so I only got $21.57. Be sure to test it and say you “tested” it in your listing.

Be sure to keep an eye out for the other types and color:  SPEAK AND MATH; SPEAK AND READ

Remington Tight Curls BLUE Hot Rollers

These are highly sought out for those who have little girls in beauty pageants.  This particular brand, color and “tight curls” feature sells for the most money.

Loopin' Louie by Milton Bradley or Hasbro

This game used to sell for an easy $100 on Ebay.  It seems Hasbro has brought it back, but it's still a pricey kids game.  Amazon sells it new for $49.  Toys R Us doesn't seem to carry it in the U.S.  I did Google it and found this game distributor called Funagain distributing it for $46.

The point is, you can usually pick up board games for a couple of bucks at garage sales.  According to Ebay, it's still a profitable game to sell.

TIP:  Watch the video below so you can see the pieces this game should come with.  However, I would still buy it if it was incomplete.  Just selling the parts of this game, still would be a good return on your investment.

Bumbo Baby Seat

Bumbo Seat

This soft foam seat is easy to clean and allows a baby to sit up.  It can usually be found at garage sales for a few dollars.  “Very good to excellent” condition on Ebay always means more bidders.  So be sure to check the seat carefully for cracks in the foam and stains.
 
Purple use to be the most popular color, but other customer favorites have emerged.  Just click here and see what these "'used" seats are selling for.   

NOTE:  Having the tray will bring in even more money.
