I’d really like to know how many people I know have an antique mannequin stashed away somewhere in their home. I realize that sounds a little bit silly, but seriously, do you have one somewhere in your house? I once knew a girl whose mother was a pretty serious seamstress. They had two or three [...]
One of the first “uncommon” items I found when I started looking for things to sell on eBay years ago, was antique Stanley planes. I learned about them because I had gone to an estate sale that featured many vintage and antique woodworking tools. I had a hunch that these vintage tools would be worth [...]
There was some interesting news for both buyers and sellers of merchandise on eBay recently. It was reported that eBay shares have risen dramatically recently. It is thought that this is due at least in part to eBay’s latest strategy of showcasing the best rated sellers and working to make the overall shopping experience more [...]
The prices on a brand new spa were really low, and that caught my attention right away.
One of the things I do is look for items that are extremely hot sellers on eBay. Some of these, like popular toys, people try their best to predict months in advance. Others, like items related to celebrities, it can be tough to predict. Right now, putting up just about anything that includes a Michael [...]
People collect all kinds of things. Tires signs are quite popular, as are items related to gas and oil. I’ve found that people especially seem to like the Cooper signs for some reason. If there are any on eBay, they will show up here above the other signs. There is an old gas station near [...]
These are very popular and thus, very hard to get your hands on without doing a bit of searching. The 2008 Hess Toy Truck and Front End Loader makes back up warning sounds along with having a working horn and lights. That was definitely a popular item late in 2008, when I first put up [...]
I didn’t even realize that there was such a thing as a Beagle Club until I found a bunch of neat old Beagle Club pins. I purchased an entire collection from an estate. Some of the ones I found dated all the way back to the 1950′s. Update: The pins I found did indeed sell [...]
When I came across some vintage railroad maps, I was surprised at how huge they were (at least the ones I had). I guess they’d make a pretty neat framed display in a train room. One buyer told me that he is actually using them to build true to life scale models of steel mills [...]
Second Hand Sale presents… Popular eBay Auctions Recently, I was thinking about what I like to look at when I check out eBay as a buyer or a browser. The Pulse used to be interesting, but now it seems to me to be mostly populated by items that I suspect people have agreed to “watch” [...]
Second Hand Sale Presents… Old Collectibles I come across so many really interesting and hard to find items that a concern of mine is that people might not even think to look for them during a week long auction. I’m trying to get more of my stuff listed in my eBay store where it costs [...]
Second Hand Sale presents… A very nice 1945 Vintage McKeesport High School Yearbook. One of the things I enjoy finding at estate sales is old yearbooks. Looking at them is like looking back at life during another generation’s glory days. All of the young faces filled with dreams of the future! I generally could have [...]
