Things You Never Thought You Could Sell

I sold some Redken hair samples on ebay a few months back, I thought they were just rubbish samples but people bid loads for them!

I know that the kinder egg toys sell well- like a pound or two, my kids have these lying around all over the place.

So do McDonalds toys, unwrapped and in mint condition is best. They're collectors items and different countries have different releases so they'll sell well to overseas bidders.

My friend worked for an antiques dealer as a student and her job was to go and buy the toys in bulk and post them to buyers in the States mostly!

Brilliant thread!!!! I remember about ayear ago there was some crazy person who wanted pictures of peoples feet and offered about £25!

apart from the odd loony ebay is quite good! just heard on the radio that the guy who made £1000 on ebay while claiming benefits has been jailed for 5 months (radio 1)...

Think I might go to a car boot sale to sell some of my old junk, especially as I have not got the income to pay for postage costs initially for eBay and Amazon.

I have got all my old Raggy Dolls which I could sell, they just need cleaning up a little bit. Also got loads of old videos I could sell on - does anyone know if these make much money?

This thread is brilliant it has inspired me to get selling I have 3 boxes of stuff in the cupboard.

My best sell on ebay was a pair of freebie crappy binoculars, that I sold for around £40!! (honeslty they were rubbish I have seen similar in the kids toy section of the pound shop).

Bunnie1982 don't despair, try gumtree.com. Listings there are free and stuff sells quickly. I sold an old VHS that I listed for £10. Within hours my phone was ringnig for people to collect it. In the end someone begged to take it off my hands for £50!! I love gumtree because I don't have to think about postage or fees.

I have been lurking on this great site for a while without posting but this thread is brilliant and this particular post has had me literally reduced to tears. Thank you for brightening up my day and I'm going to be sorting through our junk big time.

I sold my baby girl's used nappies on EBay! (admittedly they were the reusable type and had been washed but even so, I was surprised!)
