Thing You Never Thought You Could Sell On Ebay (Take 2)

Options
I did this thread in January and it became very popular with a lot of people adding to it. January was a while ago so I imagine a lot of people have just joined MSE and are looking for ways to make the extra cash that they need to clear their debts!

So I want people to post on here things that they have sold on ebay that they never thought would sell. A few examples from last time were empty perfume bottles and tax disks for cars. You could just share your selling stories too.

This will get everyone on here thinking "ohh, I've got one of those. Maybe I could sell it!"

So come on people get posting. And get selling your junk (or maybe another person's treasure)!!!!:T

    I've been Money Tipped!
    on the subject of CD's, I just sold the single that Manchester United released in 1994. Not sure if anybody will remember it but it was called "Come on You Reds" and it featured Status Quo.

    Anyways I found the CD in a box. The case was cracked but the inlay and CD were ok so I sold it for £1 plus £1 p&p. Not a lot but it's a start!!!

    I once sold a piece of gammon steak fat in the shape of an ear for £50. Some folk have blatantly more money than they need :rotfl:

    Here's a pic of the item itself. When I realised what it looked like I nearly brought my dinner back up!

    Also I found the certificate for a Royal Doulton figure in the cupboard (I dont even have the figure!) sold it for £4 :j

    I've never actually sold one myself but apparently people will pay a few quid for carrier bags from certain shops - Jane Norman is a good one, my friend sells hers all the time.

    I just don't get why people would buy them :rolleyes:
