You might be suprised and thrilled at what is good to sell on eBay!

A few years ago now I was helping my wife and her parents clear out her grandparent's house after they passed away. We had a huge skip and we were throwing almost everything into it. But I hesitated at throwing a large number of boxes of old books away because I love to read and wanted to sort through them first to see if there was anything interesting. When I got home I found that most of the books were non-fiction exploration references written mostly about early expeditions in Africa (his father had spent many years living in the Sudan). But there was also a first edition Ernest Hemmingway novel and a first edition of Lawrence of Arabia! I skimmed through them, but wasn't really into much of the so I decided I'd try and sell them on eBay...

I made over $2000 from these books - some of which were selling for over $180 each! I couldn't believe it and emailed one of the winning bidders to ask why he was paying so much. He said that these books had a lot of value to bibliofiles like him because they were part of history and extremely rare. Fantastic!

I sell on eBay regularly and a lot of what I've sell on ebay has been things that other people had in their garages. I've sold kids toys, books, golf clubs, computer games, antiques, baby clothes, board games, perfume, DVDs, CDs & heaps more. All of which was second hand and they are all really good to sell on eBay.

In fact there's a great site about hot to sell on eBay that I've referenced below that takes you through a simulated house and shows you what you can sell on eBay that you might have.

I've also added a link to where you can download a great free ebook published by Scott Fraser in 2007 that shows you 91 items that you can sell on eBay really profitably that most people don't think of. Just right click and save target as on the reference link below.

Here are just some of the items that he mentions:

cast iron skillets

cake decorating books

two color golf balls

car service manuals

genealogy

Time Life book series

cheerleader uniforms

square dancing items

8 track tape players

cross stitch patterns

springbok jigsaw puzzles

hp calculators

old bamboo fishing rods

vintage rotary phones...

That's just 14, so there are 77 more. And these are not just suggestions of things that will sell on eBay, they are things that will sell on eBay WELL.

Finally, I've posted another reference on eBay to their 'want it now' resource. This is a place to find things to sell on eBay where buyers post lists of what they are trying to find. You can scan through this list and see if there is anything that you have that you can sell on eBay knowing that there is interest in it.
