suggestions for items to sell

Hello everyone.

I am looking for ideas on what to sell on ebay. Mostly, I sell things that I have around the house that I no longer need.

I sell a lot of books and some collectibles/ vintage items.

I am running out of ideas on what to list and several items were ended and never relisted because they were listed for months and nobody bought them.

 

Any suggestions on what is popular that I could locate for free? I dont want to pay for things that aren't guaranteed to sell. Where do you get items?

suggestions for items to sell

Some items, like books, are 'long tail'. I sold a book yesterday that I had listed since 2014.

 

Look back at your Sold listings (Paypal may be easier than eBay for this.).

Which ones were most profitable?

Which ones are most replaceable?

 

There is the 'garage sale' seller and there is the specialist.

On this ID I sell mostly stamps for philatelists. I have a good describer of these and they sell slowly but profitably.

On another I sell sewing patterns. They don't take much room ( a hundred will fit into a banker's box) and they are steady sellers. I know now which brands and which sizes sell best (cheongsams and maternity wedding gowns) .

On yet another I have my garage sale. Mostly thrifted weird stuff sold for the fun of it. (Weird Al Jankovic grade).

 

Sell what you know, know what you sell.

Garage sale season is coming to an end, time to get thrifting.
