There are things to consider though before listing your items for sale. Ebay have strict guidelines on used items especially clothes. Used clothes need to be laundered first and selling used underwear are not accepted at all. Clothes also need to be graded and properly described as such on the product description. Weapons are also strictly prohibited to be sold in Ebay. Some type of air guns are not allowed. It is better to know first if the items that you are selling pass their TOS.

Look around your house and see what items that you have that you just forgot about. The general rule of thumb is that if you have items that you didn’t use in the last year, then you probably don’t need it and these are the ones that you can start selling in Ebay. You can go through all your clothes that you haven’t worn especially the designer labels. They sell good and you can probably get more that what you have paid for them especially if they are considered Vintage. This also goes for handbags and shoes.

Another thing that you can look into are the toys. Vintage toys sell well because of their uniqueness and collectibility factor. Wind up toys and robots are collectibles and they sell good in Ebay. Chinaware is also a good choice. Look inside your cupboard for old china and if they are a set, they will get a lot of bids.

When you run out off stuff to sell at your own house, and business is good, then you can start going to local garage sales and look for items that you can sell. The older the item, the better and as to clothes, shoes and accessories, the “branded” one will sell better than the big box store brand. You can also check on Ebay’s Hot list and see which items are in demand and these are the ones to look out for in the garage sales. One tip is to go to church or group yard sales so that you can shop in just one place and you will definitely find one or more items that you can sell.

If yard sale items are what you plan to specialize in, that’s great. In this particular market it is very important to keep a list of customers who are looking for a particular item. If you sold a vintage Barbie doll to a customer, let them know when you find more. Better yet, ask them what they are looking for when you make the first sale. Make a hit list of customer requests. If you find one, list it on eBay, but let your customer know about that listing.

There is a lot of money in yard sales and sometimes you can find items that are literally treasures and the owner just didn’t know about.  Just be sure to properly describe and use plenty of pictures in listing used items so that you can get most bidders.

Selling Garage Sale Items On Ebay is from collectibledollstore.net

I’ve never been one to collect and sale items but I’m sure some of these things may be worth money, but I don’t know the first thing about finding out what there worth or how to go about selling them.

Also a few of the old barbie are in mangled boxes but the dolls themselves are untouched, are they still worth anything?

Selling collectible barbies? is from collectibledollstore.net

In a way, collectibles are an extension of people’s lives. They reflect just how much a person is into a certain activity or just how much value he put into these items. Like to name suggests, collectibles require you to invest an extensive amount of your time, money, and effort into acquiring them. They do not take one or two attempts to shop and gather. You search for them at auctions and sometimes you run into them at antique shops by design or fate.

The first step to selling your collectibles online would be to get your own domain name and create your own website. Organize your site by uploading photos of your collectibles with a short but detailed description of each item. By using techniques in positioning or angling each item and in giving the right light and shade to it without airbrushing, on your own, you could create great photos that would capture interest. Pictures are meant to give a view of its authenticity to trained collector eyes, to show what condition it is in, and to generate attention to the highlights of each item.

You could also choose from many online websites and maximize on offers for free advertising and web space where you could strategically post your collectibles. You would just have to make do with some pop-ups and ads but that’s how the dynamics of the net operates.

Broaden your horizons further by finding those forums, message boards, and mailing lists where collectors and enthusiasts gather and huddle to regularly read, post, and inquire on your kind of collectibles. Search engines like Yahoo and Goggle or widely-used networks like AOL are a good place to begin.

Find out who’s simply hanging out and who’s seriously buying. The collectibles you’re willing and raring to give up could be the very items certain buyers consider rare and are on the look-out for. You could supply that demand out there in the online market.

Keep updated on what’s going on out there in the market and set competitive prices for your collectibles. When it comes to the actual negotiations, it’s you who finally decides the lowest price at which you are willing to sell your collectibles.

Lastly, come to terms with parting with your collectibles. You should have gradually done so even before the moment you actually decided to sell them. Collectibles are designed to give pleasure and direction to your life but they’re not the end-all of your existence. At one time or another, you may have to let go of bits and pieces or all of your collection to improve your finances. You could also be flowing with the current lifestyle trend towards minimalism.

On a lighter note, you may be giving up your collectibles to give way to more space in your house and new energy in your life. You are only as young as your next hobbies and interests.
