Ohh my Ebay storys. There are lots!

Once when drunk bought a bulk lot of CDRW discs for £200. On waking in the morning noticed I had bought CDRW in individual cases! that would fill virtually my entire front room I contacted the seller who said he was a courier and would deliver them anywhere for £50. I needed shot of them so just had them taken to a local auction house, thank GOD it was intake day! see 100's for sale on ebay on a spindle for not much so didnt expect to make a penny. Sold for over 1K Nearly fell over.

Sold my collection of Official PS1 magazines and discs (About 50) for over £120

Check your pile of old PS1 games in fact check all games its suprising whats worth money. Some PS1 games are worth a lot i.e. Monster rancher sells for over £50. Ive picked up many games for 50p to a £1 that can sell for £10 plus. A suprise one LMA manager 2007 for Xbox 360, listed as rare sellers want £30+ for it, PS2 version gets good prices too.

Here's one a freind at work uses. Buy ladies boots at car boot sales in large sizesi.e size 7 plus. Then put in the title "Ladies boots size 8 suit Transvestite, kinky, fetish" and watch the interest soar

Subbuteo stuff sells well even broken players and odd bits like balls! sorry

Hope I helped someone, see what more I can think of.

This thread is a great idea!!!

My husband is VW freak and goes to scrap yards and gets all different little bits for VW's and sells them on E BAY for about 10 - 15x what he's paid for them at the scrap yard. A lot of overseas bidders can't get hold of a lot of car parts so are desperate to get hold of things....... and my OH has made a lot of money from doing this.

Also (shouldn't really say this and I'm really ashamed of him) but he thinks if something from a scrap yard will fit in his pocket then he doesn't have to pay for it and therefore makes even more of a profit. Yes, I know its technically stealing and I shout at him but it make no difference. (please don't be mad with us!!!!!!!!!!!)

:rotfl: My hubby does exactly the same thing!!!!

I always buy my digital cameras from ebay, models about a year old. after a a year or so of use I sell them on ebay. I've never not made a profit, sometimes over £70. So I'm getting a year for free, £70 towards the next model I'm going to buy.

Just watch out that buying on ebay doesn't become a bigger addiction as selling...

Well, owl pelletts rather that actual "vomit" but it makes it sound a bit funnier

I found quite a few on the floor in my barn land collected them into a pile. My wife and mother-in-law came across my collection and initially mistook them for a pile of poo, when they asked why I had collected them I jokingly said "Oh, i'm going to sell them on Ebay". That evening I did a search and was surprised to find that people did advertise them and that of the 20 advertised in the previous month 19 had sold! I then discovered that most of those were from owl sancturies which meant they had restricted diets. So, with mine being wild owl pelletts they were much more valuable. Gobsmacked when I got lots of bids and ended up with £16 for them! I've going to put up some shelving to encourage the owls to visit more regularly and nest in there!

I have a large Mistletoe growing out of my apple tree in the back garden. I also have lots of Holly bush's. Curious, has anyone ever tried selling any on Ebay near the festive time? Might give it a go this year.

I'm a radio amateur and as such (and as is almost compulsory under the rules of the hobby!!) I have a fairly decent 'junk box' of old parts that might one day be useful. Every now and again I have a purge and put anything that is really useless (to me) on ebay, using their 'free listings' weekends.

It's amazing what does go - broeken, non-working, 15 year old modems, transistors unsoldered from 1960s vintage radios, etc.

I guess one person's trash genuinely is soemone else's treasure!

I sold an empty video game box, I'd lost the game and i know other people have got games without boxes or damaged boxes so i put mine on ebay clearly stating that it was the box only (with manual) and I got £15. At the time you could buy a used copy of the game complete with box for less than a tenner.

Sometimes it because a collector wants a better conditioned box or case. It can be worth checking all parts of a game. For example you can sell any disc of Final fantasy 7,8,9 some were on 4 discs. Disc 1 is as far as some gamers get with such an in depth game so its the most commonly used scratched and lost. So if you get an incomplete collectable game put any disc you have on Ebay will almost certainly sell and quite often for a decent price to. You can get over £5 for Final fantasy 7 disc 1 and a bit less for the other discs.

In case anyone wasn't aware, there's a BIG free listing marathon approaching on Ebay. Time to get that camera out and take those pictures!
