Sum It Up Sunday 5/18/14

This was my most successful eBay week so far. I feel like I have a good momentum, and seeing that it really is true “the more you list, the more you sell” - and I’m seeing that on average eBay gives back what you put in.

Some of this week's best sales include this new but open Amana Dado Blade Set, I think it was probably a display model. This is a tool that attaches to a table saw and makes wide grooves in wood. My husband bought this at an auction for $40. He already has one, and knew that it was worth way more than $40. I’ve had it listed for several weeks, waiting for the right buyer.

 

Sold BIN for $179.99 Free Shipping. Shipping cost $9.90.

So about $129 profit before fees. I would have never known to buy this,

thank goodness my husband recognized the quality brand “Amana.”

I sold the last of my valuable TY Beanie Babies this week. Slither the Snake 1993 Beanie - I’ve had him listed since the first week I started eBaying back in February. I have had several offers on him, but finally accepted one this week.

 

Sold with a best offer of $100 with free shipping (small flat rate box).

I’ve had him for twenty years, but assume he was a $5 toy back in ‘93.

I also sold a couple items through the Global Shipping Program. Including this vintage Swing-A-Way Ice Crusher in avocado.

 

So cool! With the original box, and the mechanism that suction cups

the crusher to the countertop still works.

I paid $4.75. I listed it with a starting bid of $16.99. That was the only bid it received, and of course I was hoping for more than a $12 profit. But I mention it in this week’s summary, because this buyer paid over $50 to have it shipped through the GSP to Israel! So for them, this was a $67 purchase.

I hope you had a great week of thrifting and eBay sales! Are you participating in the GSP? Have you had any sales through the program yet?
