I’ve been away in Japan for the last four weeks, but still managed to have sold 30 items for $990 in that time. It was a ton of work getting it all shipped today, but insomnia from the time change served me well.
Right before I left, I listed a bunch of enamel pins I picked with a lot. This is one of three that sold while I was gone https://www.ebay.com/itm/193306922653
When I was at a flea market in Beijing last year I bought about two hundred vintage fireworks labels. They haven’t sold as well as I had hoped and I have slowly been working to get out of the red on these. I took a best offer of $20 on this one https://www.ebay.com/itm/193216786529
I ignored a low-ball offer on these brand new P.F. Flyers and 2 days later the same buyer purchased them for full price https://www.ebay.com/itm/192711604947
I typically go to estate sales on the last day when prices are reduced. Thus it always surprises me when I find valuable stuff that has been passed over by multiple resellers before me. At a house in January, I found this 1st editionCivil War remembrance in a collector’s home. It sold within a couple weeks of listing. https://www.ebay.com/itm/193256863206
I love games and card games. When I find one that is unfamiliar, I usually buy it if condition and price are favorable. This one is out of print and commanded a decent price. https://www.ebay.com/itm/193291870898
It is good to be back home, and I brought back a few little dollar store things to list. Despite finding a couple flea markets, I didn’t really find anything I wanted to lug around and bring back for resale. Best to all.
Welcome back.
I would’ve thought the same on those vintage fireworks labels.
I do the same at estate sales, it’s all about knowing more than others about what’s valuable to sell on eBay.
Thanks Steve. I think the reason my vintage fireworks labels don’t do as well as others is because mine were made for domestic China market and so don’t have the warning labels that US buyers use to date their collections. (Required safety labels changed a few times from the 1950s to present, so it is easy to place a label in time if they have the ancillary labeling.)
