Whats your best ever sale on ebay!

RACHIE77

What have you sold on ebay and got a really good price for (and a nice profit to boot!)??

I saw a thread on here saying that a PS2 game (My Street) was £1.52 on Amazon.co.uk - I managed to buy five and kept two and sold the others for £9 each!

I love a bargain and I love a profit made from a bargain even more!!

Just wondered what other sales people have made???

Not quite the best ever sale on Ebay; but bought some specialist boat parts for £58 off Ebay, the seller got the description wrong, lucky for me. I sold them on through specialist boat websites, got £100 for one and £200 for the other. Unlikely I'll ever get such a bargain again, but if you know your market, a profit can be made.

Years ago when all the beanie babies were really collectable I sold an older one for £500, I paid £5 for it. A nice tidy profit

That's a fantastic profit lifeslove! It's a hard question but one of my best ever sales was probably a camcorder from Argos - bought for £120 odd in the RO sale sold for £300+. Sold so much in the last year I can't really remember all of my best sales lol...I guess things you can sell that you get for free are good cos they are 100% profit - like O2 sim cards which I seem to get every month lol

Whilst not in the league of some of the other posters. I sold a single sheet of wrapping paper for £27.00 that came free with a magazine some years previously.

Don't ask me why I held on to or even listed it it but it was a promotional Nintendo Zelda sheet

eBay fascinates me but I'm not too genned up on it. But can I just ask what a gold number is? Good profit btw
