Garage Sale Treasure Hunter

If you want to increase traffic to your blog or your eBay auctions, this post might help you out.

When I go to estate sales (which run all year by the way) and garage sales, I am always looking for new, oddball items to try out on eBay.  One of the items I had always walked by without giving it a second glance was jewelry.  I figured that the competition was too great since [...]

This has been a very interesting day for me.  During the work week I follow pretty much the same routine.  I get up a little before 5:00 a.m. so I can have time to check things out on the computer and maybe get some eBay packing done before the kids get up and we have [...]

Sorry it has been a little while since I wrote anything.  My work schedule changed a bit and it’s been a busy time.  I’ve decided to try my hand at working with video! I’ll be adding and updating more frequently now.  Thanks for your patience. This video is basically a welcome and brief intro to [...]

ADD SOME VIDEO! Adding video to eBay auctions is incredibly easy. I haven’t done a lot with it, but I’m going to make a serious effort to do more of it. I just listed a toy wind up duck that I picked up a while ago. Obviously the potential bidders want to see whether or [...]

WHERE TO LOOK In my opinion, the best stuff at garage sales and estate sales usually isn’t sitting out on the folding card table at the front of the house.  Most times, I find the things that eventually sell for decent money hidden away because the person having the sale thought it was worthless.  You [...]

Vintage & Antique Books You never know what you’ll end up finding if you just ask people questions. I’ve got boxes of old (really old) books sitting here now because I asked a lady having a yard sale if she had any old paper items or books. It turns out she not only is a [...]

Green Light to Sell Ever since I started selling on eBay, I’ve enjoyed reading about what other people have found for a good price and then listed to make a decent profit. I started thinking about this during my weekly garage sale run today. I saw someone selling a traffic light. Not a novelty one. [...]
