Things You Never Thought You Could Sell

Hi everyone

I love Ebay and try to sell as much as poss! My best sales have been a pair of Faith shoes I bought in a sale for £12 which sold for £25! Brilliant! Also on amazon I sold a copy of a film called 'Big Night' for about £10, bought it in HMV sale for a couple of quid. It was out of print, so more sought after. If you have any books/vids etc, it's worth checking on amazon whether they are not in print anymore as you can command a higher price. There's often a waiting list even! I know loads of people who have contract phones but don't get the free upgrades...I recently got an LG Chocolate phone and hated it, not very user friendly! They were going on ebay for £200+. So you could just use a basic phone, get the free upgrade once a year, and make £200 a year for nothing!!!

Underwear goes great on ebay - bought some bargain control knickers that didn't fit and could have sold over and over on ebay! I love the coupons ideas, as get loads of these and have never tried to sell. Also carrier bags - have a few designer ones that might go. Love the 'mystery box' idea too!

I have to say though, I can't agree with selling charity stuff for profit. It seems wrong to me to sell something that the original owner wanted to benefit a charity. Bit too much of a grey area for me. However, if car booters don't have the sense to know what will make more money then more fool them!

Surely if the people buy the stuff from the charity shop to sell on, the charity has received the money it would have got anyway. Or am I missing the point?

On a separate note, I mentioned earlier that I've put my first item up for sale because of this thread. Well, it's got two bids and 7 watchers already so I'm a happy bunny

A all in one printer.

Do you think that’s worth putting on eBay, I have a hp all-in-one COLOUR printer, scanner, photo copier etc. and my brother brought a new ink cartridge for it then it didn’t work. I’d like to sell it and get him a new one.

How much do you think I’d get – it doesn’t work at the moment a bit temperamental sometimes it works sometimes it makes a loud noise and doesn’t do anything!:rotfl:

Someone mentioned selling old catalogues earlier on - we had some Habitat catalogues from the '80s lurking at the back of a cupboard. Just hope I didn't recycle them when we moved

Also got loads of concert/theatre programmes from years ago, anyone sold items like that?

Going to have to have a rummage methinks

We started on ebay selling old concert programmes and ticket stubs, made a nice sum towards our holiday ice cream fund

Weird things like empty fragrance bottles, I mean who would want a empty fragrance bottle?? But poeple do as I have just found out when I sold my wife's empty Angel perfume bottle for £5.50.

I can't see that anybody answered your question but I can..... The Angel perfume counter at department stores will refill the bottles for you....at a lower cost than buying a bottle the same size new!!!! :T
