What Sold On eBay February 24- March 10
I’m running a week behind on posting what sold on eBay, so I’m picking up where I left off and combining a couple of weeks. It wasn’t too bad, and definitely better than last week. Let’s dive in!
This week’s first item sold was a set of shell-shaped nut dishes. I picked these up at Goodwill, and I paid $1.00 for them. These sold for $8.00. I originally had them for $10.00, but there are several like it listed on eBay, and I was afraid I might be stuck with them, so I took an offer. When I picked them up, I thought they really might be worth something because of their age, but it was not so. Oh well, a sale is a sale!
Next up was this Ruby Road shirt I picked up at our local thrift store. I paid $1.00 for it, and it sold for $13.99. It’s not bad, considering this brand isn’t really a mover. Again, something I really didn’t know when I bought it.
Another local thrift find- I paid $1.00 for this Soap Opera People magazine. I took an offer of $15.00 and was glad to get it. I saw many of these magazines for sale on eBay, but mine was the only one from 1987. Maybe whoever bought this has a collection going.
My last sale was this Kim Rogers patriotic shirt that I got for $1.00 at the local thrift store. Again, not a big sale money-wise, but I was happy to see this unique shirt find a home. I love picking up clothes that are different and not the norm.
eBay Sold By The Numbers
Total Items Listed– 112
Total Items Sold- 4
Fees- 15.69
Final Profit- $31.30
As far as fees go, I have a basic store, but I do promote my items to the percentage that eBay suggests.
Final Thoughts
I really feel like I dodged a bullet by selling some of these items. I messed up in that I didn’t do my research before purchasing them and just assumed they would sell because of their age or brand. Next time, I plan on doing some research before buying any more vintage items to see if they are truly worth something. Still, I was pleased they sold at all, and even though the total amount of the sales was low, it’s still something! I’ll keep trucking along!
