Things You Never Thought You Could Sell

I was surprised when I sold old ice cube tray on ebay...

I once found an old Opera magazine when I was on the train to work. Picked it up to flick through to pass the time, although it didn't make for all that interesting reading personally, as my knowledge of Opera is non existant. But I must have just put it in my bag without thinking when I was getting off the train.
My other half put it on the recycling pile, but I took it back and thought hey-ho, start it at 99p and nothing to lose. Was gonna try it for 10 days, then not bother relisting and just stick in the recycling box.
Got just over £6 for it!!

Also son won a Blue Peter badge for making something and sending in a pic.
Yrs later he found he could sell it for over £40!

Hmmm, this is a good thread but my blood pressure is up now thinking of all the cash I've chucked in the bin over the past few years. Old Tax discs, what on earth would anyone be able to do with those, unless it was for props for telly programmes or something like that?

They were in quite high demand. £40 for free entry to over 200 attractions.

Oh - he was lucky to sel his then - it was a few yrs ago He'd won the badge genuinely and had it a few years - but getting older didn't want it anyway and there was nowhere near us to use the free entries.

Watch out for free listing days - save even more money
I sold a old Skoda mug - white with the old skoda logo in blue and red for £12.50!!!!!
People will buy anything - unfortunately it is a bit hit and miss, my tip is - If it doesn't sell the first time keep relisting

It's free listing today - get your stuff listed NOW.

Old car brochures seem to sell quite well. I know my OH has paid over the odds for the original brochure for his beloved old merc.

Well you've all inspired me to search out stuff - will photograph now and then be ready for the next free day for listing.

I'm thinking of putting a broken power supply unit for a Sky box on there. I bought a refurbished one off of eBay and replaced the broken one with it, and i'm wondering if any of the people who refurbish them would be interested? I've seen broken Sky boxes sell - maybe people are buying them to get the power supply units out?

I sold this and got £6.50 for it. I was just going to throw it out.
