I saw the title to your thread and thought "EBAY!!!!" ... then others have already said it. You do have to pay a listing fee and you have to pay a percentage if someone pays via paypal. Type the name of the item you think may sell on Ebay...then go to completed listings (or however it is worded) and it will tell you how much the item has sold for in the past 30 days). You will find out if you have a "sellable" item or not. My big "Ebay Story" comes from a box of items I bought at an auction for $1.00....I was going to throw away some papers at the bottom of the box and thought....."no, I'll check them out on Ebay and see if they are worth anything..." Anyway, I sold the papers for $540.00!!!!!!". I am not shi..ing you!!! I bought a wooden piece of clock that didn't have the clock part on it and some other pieces were missing from an estate sell for $1.00 ....sold it on Ebay for $80.00!!! I was shocked!!! Sorry to run on and on, but it is usually the "older" items that you think might sell for .25 at a yard sale (and people ask if you will take less) end up being a good seller on Ebay. If it is a namebrand, check it out first...some sell, some don't. As I said, check out the "completed listings" first to see how that item goes. If it goes for less than $15.00 you are not going to make much money on it...not worth the hassle. You have to check the item over, if you need glasses, put them on. It has to be EXACTLY as decsribed. Also, educate yourself on postage first....I've lost a lot of money that way. Don't forget that when you get the "weight/postage" chart from your local post office, that you have to consider the weight/cost of wrapping material and the box. This is an area where I do have experience. P.S. I also made about $50.00 from the rest of the stuff that was in that $1.00 box. I only bid on the box because I was tired of hearing the auctioneer saying "A buck, a buck, a buck, a buck, a buck, a buck......"
