https://www.ebay.com/itm/193624526087 I have a soft spot for toys and I pick up lots of old stuff usually for a buck or two. They are not big moneymakers, but it makes me happy to make a kid happy somewhere in the world. This little people tractor sold for $8.50.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/193707028197 Estate sale find for $1 – mildly erotic calendar from 1981 in mint condition – sold within 24 hours for $29.50
https://www.ebay.com/itm/193638950240 I’ve picked up a number of yearbooks usually for a $1. They are rare sellers, but I try to price them high because they are obviously limited editions. This one sold for full asking of $38.50
https://www.ebay.com/itm/193697929593 This was my greatest find in the past week. two years ago, I bought this old pachinko machine for $10 and it came with a trough of balls. I donated the machine a last summer and the balls were sitting around. Finally, I did research and discovered that the old balls that are engraved like these are much coveted. I listed them in lots of 75 balls for $68.50 and sold three lots in a week – two for full asking and one for a best offer of $55 (turned off best offer after I got full asking on two lots).
https://www.ebay.com/itm/192577537569 Some people do great with men’s ties, but I suck at it. I don’t know how to pick them, nor how to photograph them. My hats off to anyone that is good at it. This vintage new Christopher Reeve Collection tie sold for full asking of $13.50 and I was so glad to see it go.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/192878662028 Unbelievably, I had an overseas buyer pick up 29 vintage male nude large format photographic negatives for close to $1200. These are some of the last of a trove I found in 2018. These negatives and hundreds of others were all in a suitcase in a basement at an estate sale. I paid $10 for the suitcase, and have sold approximately $30,000 worth of negatives from that single lot. (Sorry if this is repetition for people that are repeat readers of my post here – I am not trying to brag, just alert other scavengers of the potential of this sort of find).
