What Is The Best Thing You Have Ever Sold On Ebay?

I managed to find two of a particular type of ornament that I knew collectors were trying to hunt down. They cost me £50 each plus the cost of the phone calls I made all over the country to find them, lol.

I got just over £250 for each of them so that was definately the best profit I've ever made.

Recycling centres (the dump, as my kids call it) love them or hate them !?

Thanks for the tip about red noses :beer:

Well I bought a First Edition book of Casino Royale by Ian Fleming (AKA James Bond) for 10p from a charity shop and sold it for £3,600 :eek:

I also bought a first pressing of The Beatles first album for £3 and sold it for £267.

I bought a diary that someone had written in the east end of London during the war. They had written detailed descriptions about attacks and what was going on. I bought if for 50p and sold it for £79.

I bought a caravan for £350 on a site where I live. Sold holidays in it on ebay for 1 summer season and then sold the caravan on ebay at the end of it for £500. But there were outgoings in that like administration, key deposits, gas, electric and severage charge.

Damn, there some great money making going on!

I've only sold one thing for £110, it was the first time i sold something on eBay. Anyways, I got some old records, them big black discs, really hate them and may put them up on eBay. I got an Elvis disc as well, i really dont know how much they are, wouldnt be suprised if I made quite a bit out of it.
