what are some good things to sell on EBAY?

I just started doing this and I know someone told me Vera Bradley and Coach which I just sold and did pretty well. Are there any other things that anyone can recommend?

Re: what are some good things to sell on EBAY?

I sell live aquatic plants on ebay from my fishtank.

I do suprizingly well.

my other advise would be to look for auctions on the island or elsewhere, maybe even estate sales. Pick up a couple of 5 - 10 dollar boxes of junk, weed through it throw out the garbage and do a little research on ebay to see if theres a market for any of the leftovers. Ive made 1000 in one week doing this and only putting 50 dollars of my own money up.

I aint gonna lie though, it is work, and it takes time. If you put your time in, you will get it back.

and you also need a "you win some you lose some" mentality going in

I agree with both points. If you can find something with a name brand it always sells better Chat Icon

honestly anything and everything can sell. You'll have good weeks and bad weeks. Its hard to predict. Sometimes the crappy items sell better than the things you may think are goldmines.

I agree with everything posted above

you have to take the good with the bad

it's alot of work- but it can be rewarding

or you can work your butt off and sell nothing

the summer isn't a great time for my bussiness- but it normally picks up in another week or 2-

I've sold:
Coach/ Kate Spade/ Lulu Guinness bags and accessories.

Lenox figurines, trinket boxes etc

Ann Taylor, Talbots and Laura Ashley Clothes. Isaac Mizrahi shoes from Target and did well!

Some tools for my dad- ie Radio Shack scanner

My old every day dishes, books, dvds, vhs tapes!

Thomas Kinkade collectables

It is AMAZING what people will buy!
