Steve – I totally get not wanting to fix an item and just deciding to sell as is. I’ve been interested in learning how to fix things, but I’ve only gotten as far as rewiring a lamp.
I feel like I’m again the only one posting. People, wake up!!! I know my crap isn’t as interesting as many of you out there. Please, help out!
Here’s a set of five US Airways forks that sold for $15 from the end of a big collection of similar flatware given to me by a friend of my parents. Nothing interesting here except that I recognized the name of the buyer. It’s been a few years, but he basically have bought most of the collection over time.

This Bell & Howell projector was given to me by a different friend of my parents. It was sitting in my basement for a couple years while I waited to get a 16mm film to test it with. I finally decided to just show the operation without film and embedded a video in the listing. Sold for $63.70.

A few years ago, I bought this child’s size organ in an online auction for under $20. When I brought it home, my kids started playing around with it, so I didn’t get around to listing it until November. I had a few requests to ship it. I explained that the cost would probably be more than the item itself, but they were free to arrange it with Uship or another company. Finally, someone near Pittsburgh offered $165 for it, and I couldn’t click fast enough. The buyer was very interesting. He plays an organ for his church, and he started a collection. He first drove to Philadelphia to pickup an organ from the 1800s, and then to me. He knows how to fix them, so he will repair the one key that doesn’t work.

Steven, thanks (as always) for the video! That 8 track player is amazing!
Sharyn… haven’t been selling very many things lately. I was trying to figure out if I was gong to give up Ebaying entirely and focus on my art exclusively. After some thought, I’ve decided to give it a go for real and see if I can make enough side money to justify my retiring next year!Don’t have much listed at the moment but that will change!
Anyways, my husband had a boyhood crush on Olivia Newton John. We finally got this lot of 45s OUT of the house! Went to a buyer in Canada. $50 https://www.ebay.com/itm/363733507192
Finally got around to listing this vintage paint by number. Must’ve underpriced it because it sold within 10 minutes! 😛

Sorry! I’m awake! Really I am! 🙂 Some more sales from late last year:
This 1952 college fraternity stein personalized to “Tom” was $5 at the flea market and sold for $25 plus shipping on a best offer. I’m finding the college steins are getting harder to find in the wild at decent prices as people wise up to their value. But they are long tail.
Here’s another Canadian postcard, this one of grain elevators in Saskatchewan circa 1910. It was part of a large lot of cards for which I paid $1 each. A bit much to pay for a postcard lot but they were all US or Canadian real photo cards of good subjects that I cherry-picked at an antique coop. It sold for $35 plus shipping and went back to Canada. Since eBay eradicated all the postcard subcategories, my card sales have fallen off a cliff. Only a couple of sales in weeks, next to zero impressions, and my entire postcard store has had only item eligible for an outgoing offer for going on a month now. I’ve tried ending and selling similar, 50% off sales, etc.; all to no avail.
After research indicated sold prices all over the map, I stuck this consignment challenge coin up on auction for what I thought was a very high starting price. It was bid up to $255 plus shipping to sell. It’s a named personal coin from the 74th Commanding Officer of the USS CONSTITUTION, “Old Ironsides”. Though maintained primarily as an attraction, the ship is the oldest active commissioned ship in the US Navy, has an active-duty crew, and occasionally goes for a short sail around Boston Harbor.
This is the last to sell of a set of 1950s silkscreens by Native American artist Harrison Begay that were family items. It went to California for $70 plus shipping.
Another family item, this welded scrap metal motorcycle sculpture sold for $50 plus shipping.
