Steve’s sales look like ours- a bunch of random, miscellaneous, bread and buttah items. My favorite was the colorful, round Gardenia wool rug.[See the full post at: What Sells On eBay: Akai reel tape deck, raw speakers, Z-Coil shoes, wool rug, record stand]

Nice sales as always Steve and nice boat also. BTW if you owned one of those nice Chris Craft boats you had a very nice boat. The wooden ones are beautiful when the wood is kept up and all polished. I have water skied behind one before. Had two Mercury MercHouser 100’s outbaords. It planed out fast, rode smooth and was fast.
In any case you mentioned it was long tale and you had it since 2013. Think you may know we had 6 antiques booths that we closed down a year ago and have been slowly entering all that inventory [over 2500 to 3000 items total] into our Ebay store. Well you got me curious so I did a quick filter on my Excel Inventory spread sheet to sort it my date bought, then by what was not even listed. We have 407 items listed that was bought prior to Dec. 30, 2013 and 215 not even listed yet and still hiding in our yet to be opened and listed bins. You had to bring up how long, long tale is. LOL. 🙂
The reason though is that we bought so much years ago filling up those booths and items just do not move fast in any volume at antiques booths. We sell 4 times as much on Ebay as we ever did at the booths and we get to keep a whole lot more of the money.
Boy, talk about needing some help weighing, measureing, tagging, photoing and listing. LOL mike in atl.

Here are a few of my latest:
sold for $95 bought at an estate sale for $45, I had wanted more but marked it down, still very happy with the sale.
Both of these shoes were purchased at a local antique mall–don’t overlook these as sources for merchandise, not everyone looks up prices online. The first pair was purchased for $9 and sold for $50, the second was bought for $15 and sold for $55.
One good thing that happened this week is that an item broken in transit recently was covered by the Post Office and I got a check for $95 in the mail today.

Great sales Steve! I love that you are scavenging from old consoles. I’ve taken turntables out but never the amps and speakers. Will do so next time I come across one! Nother great idea on the cat house with the speaker boxes! Reduce>Reuse>Recycle! It is the way of the Scavenger!

I’ve started an experiment where I buy bigger items than I normally would, and then take them to a Fed Ex to have them professionally packed.
I took a vintage G4 Mac desktop computer last week to them and the packing job was only $20 for something that was huge both in dimensions and weight (50 lbs). Sure, I made less profit then if I packed it myself, but I think the time and hassle (and box and packing supplies) I saved was worth the $20.
The trick will be finding big items profitable enough to be worth professional packing.
