So you don’t think you have anything to sell on ebay?

I am surprised how many people I talk to about ebay tell me they don’t have anything to sell there. There is little doubt most of not all of them have a room, closet, basement or garage to clean out.

I began selling new car brochures I collected for years when I was younger. I had them in boxes in the closet until a co-worker told me about ebay in 1999. Over the next year or so, I sold the entire lot of them to people all over the world, prices ranged from $5.00 to over $50.00 each. These were items I had considered throwing away.

Just a few things to look for in your homes;

  • Collectible figurines by Hummel, Disney, Wee Forest Folk, etc.
  • Name brand children’s and teen clothing by Nike, Holister Co. & Aeropostle
  • Gently used children’s sporting equipment
  • Name brand and designer clothing for adults like Levis, Kenneth Cole & Ed Hardy

The list is endless. Next time you are cleaning your that closet or basement, take a close look at what you would considering throwing away or donating and post it on ebay, you may be surprised at what others are willing to pay for your items.
