There are many people who would like to break into the eBay selling arena, but who have no idea where to start. The act of signing up is the easy part. What really gets people stuck is the question of what to sell to other people online.
The truth is, there is an amazingly vast range of items that people consider collectible. People develop connections to a variety of items and they are often willing to pay premium prices for things that you might never think of as collector's items. As you go about your next Spring cleaning, you might find that you own one or two of these sought after treasures.
One great example of this type of merchandise is Harley Davidson gear. Hardcore bikers as well as more casual bike enthusiasts often pay top dollar for memorabilia related to this historic brand name. Harley shirts with the names of bike shops in various cities often sell quite well. Clothing related to biker events like the Bike Week rallies that take place in Sturgis or Daytona also do quite well. Older, dated items can bring surprisingly high bids. Vintage biker jackets almost always sell very well when put up for auction if they are in good shape. This brand is so popular and has such a rich history, that almost any Harley item you might be interested in selling has a good chance of drawing multiple bids.
Another collectible that sells well right now is Michael Jackson memorabilia. Since his passing, fans have begun to clamor for everything from original vinyl albums to the dolls that were originally sold during the 1980s. This is a great example of a collectible that many people probably have stashed away, possibly forgotten, in attics and storage boxes. Digging these old items out could be very profitable for a new eBay seller. Even old posters and magazines sell very well, so it is worth the time to make that trip to the attic if you were a fan during the 80s and then drifted away over the years.
Finally, you might want to take a look around your property for old bottles. This is a market filled with serious collectors. Anyone living on a farm or in a rural area should keep their eyes open for these very popular collectibles. Although not every bottle will be a winner, there are many bottles that sell on eBay for hundreds of dollars.
A few minutes spent browsing the collectibles category can be time very well spent. An amazing amount of valuable items get sold to eBay re-sellers every weekend for very low prices simply because the original owners underestimated their market value. Do a small bit of research and you might be surprised at how much valuable merchandise you already own.
