Nice photos, I’m not surprised at the amount that they were bid up to. That’s some real history from the early space age.
On the subject of ‘Offers’, is it possible that a large number of buyers are too intimidated or shy about even making an offer?
So the items we price high and then edit to accept offers still don’t sell because of the higher price and the reluctance to make an offer.Nice sale price n the Buzz Aldrin photos, hope you post them on Wednesday.
In June I’m going to get my Apollo moon landing related stuff listed as I’m sure there will be media overload for the 50th anniversary on July 20th.05/16/2019 at 4:17 pm in reply to: What Sells On eBay: Ferrari drawing, Bread drawer liner, Navy trucker hat, Old perfume, Lamps, 70’s Panasonic Stereo #62022With little to Cassette production for the last twenty years the good ones can be hard to find.
I think Cassette recording and tape trading still goes on in some overseas markets, especially Eastern European and middle eastern countries that ban many or all music and even downloading.There are some high end types people look for, metal tape, the cassettes with the little metal reels inside and others.

I wonder if that’s an Etsy thing, I wouldn’t have even bothered on eBay, I better give it a try though.05/16/2019 at 11:05 am in reply to: What Sells On eBay: Ferrari drawing, Bread drawer liner, Navy trucker hat, Old perfume, Lamps, 70’s Panasonic Stereo #62003Yeah those Canadian honkers were quite vocal that morning.
Good decision on the Bavarian platter, more and more now I take most offers, especially with very low cost to me items, there is just so much other stuff out there to sell.05/16/2019 at 11:01 am in reply to: What Sells On eBay: Ferrari drawing, Bread drawer liner, Navy trucker hat, Old perfume, Lamps, 70’s Panasonic Stereo #62002Cool clock, it would’ve caught my eye.
I’m amassing a large number of cassettes after years of getting them thrown in on stereo deals, good tip on selling them in lots according to decade.Around here the difference between estates sales and garage sales is you can go inside the house to look at stuff. Everything is always tagged.
I like to grab everything of interest then pile it up in front of whomever collects the money, then ask for a deal on all of it, if it’s a little more than I want to pay I make a lower offer which they usually accept, otherwise they’ll have to put all the stuff back.05/09/2019 at 5:30 pm in reply to: What Sells On eBay: Retractable lamp, Mustang emblem, Califone Record player, Wicker chairs, Stereo amp, Kitchen clock #61585Puts a spring in your step when the coach says hop to it.
It was free with the coupon.
I used strapping tape as well but that stuff can be expensive.For me, fixing is fun and quite rewarding especially when you can significantly increase the value.
Vintage stereo equipment in particular is almost worthless, in most cases if it doesn’t work but quite valuable when repaired. So sourcing is inexpensive.It’s really not a time waste if you like repairing or refurbishing and item, sure you could be listing more items but I enjoy the work and reap the rewards. You get better at it the more you do it, I now know the best resources for parts for the items I’ll tinker with and I still like learning how.
If you’re not handy in that way then sell it cheap and move on. Remember there’s no one right way. Some people like to sell volume, others higher priced items. Do with your time as you like, that’s kind of the motto around here.
When they first went on sale last year I bought 3 at $30 each. They are all metal so a solid base to work with.
Way to stick with an item and see it go to a seller more willing to part with it.
I wonder if working vintage 23 channel CB radios are worth selling as there is quite an interest in vintage semi tractors. Just like 8 track players for classic cars are sought after.
I’ve had a few requests lately from Russia, same thing, no GPS.
Would love for this service than be reliable but I’m chicken to be the first to try it. -
