What's the most expensive thing you've sold on eBay?

I sold a Rolex watch for $10,000 on eBay 20 years ago. It was a smooth transaction, including the PayPal payment and USPS shipping.

Things have changed a lot in 20 years, no way I'd risk that now. As they say, "don't sell it here if you can't afford to lose it".

A trombone for $275.

A heavily damaged concert poster from the Boston Tea Party for the Velvet Underground and the Byrds in 1970. Paid $50 on Craigslist, sold on eBay for $1000.

I sold a sword for $3000+, actually, one of a number of them for well over $1000.  Has PayPal been around that long?  My how time flies when one is having fun!  Never have used PayPal.

If you still had your trombone you could play a wah-wah for the loss of pburn's soul. A tuba's probably better for that sentiment, but a trombone would work.

@gracieallen01 , we’ve had to be on PayPal since 2002.  Quite a change from the early days of buyers mailing checks/money orders!

Most expensive things I sold were a western saddle for about $350, and a vintage press camera for $400.  Both of those were about 20 years ago.

3  Dark Shadows pillows.  They were about 10 inches round and from the 60's.  Cost was about 25 cents each back then.  

Sold the three for $1200

Well, for those of us with merchant accounts, didn't have to go to PayPal until 2008.  Hehehehe, I still take checks and money orders - on my website.

A violin for 1200.00 . That was long ago however.  Today I would not even think of such a sale due to all the buyer fraud today.

2 model airplanes to the same buyer. $800 each. $1600 total. Buyer was vacationing in Hawaii. I delivered it to his hotel.

Art nouveau sterling bowl, Gorham Martele $8,500 and change.  Paid by cashier's check that was verified before I even deposited it.  No PayPal back then. 

Would I post that here again?  No way, never, not going to happen...LOL.

I remember telling buyers that I only accepted USPS Money orders.   That makes me feel ancient.
