You can sell almost anything on eBay, although they do have restrictions on certain items such as firearms, body parts and adult beverages. Below are some of the most popular categories of items sold by eBay consignment stores across the nation.
1. Antiques & Collectibles - Dolls, Cabbage Patch Kids, Radio Flier wagons, Mr. Potato Heads, and other toys from the ’50s to ’80s are hot stuff on eBay, but may be taking up too much room now that your kids have moved out. These items may be important to you, but so is making your mortgage.
2. Appliances & Furniture - Moving a houseload of furniture can be a hassle, and often you spend more in moving costs than what your couches, love seat, and headboards are worth. Be in the black and make money off your move by selling your furniture on eBay.
3. Cameras & Video Recorders - Technology improves quickly. Some people always have to have the latest and greatest, while others don’t care about the difference between a five- and a six-megapixel camera. Sell your celebrity-endorsed camera from last year to those looking for a deal.
4. Designer Apparel & Accessories - This year’s Ed Hardy is last year’s Dolce and Gabbana. People are fickle with their fads, and you can definitely make a buck if you strike when the iron is hot. Don’t let those $120 jeans lie in the laundry basket because you put on a few pounds. Sell them on eBay.
5. Electronics & Phones - Phones are much more versatile than what they were just a few years ago. They are constantly improving with functions and apps that will play MP3s, do your taxes, and walk your dog. Some people just want a nice, but inexpensive phone, so why not sell them your old one?
6. Event Tickets - So not every one of your friends wanted to see the Casey and the Sunshine Band. Pass that joy onto someone else.
7. Housewares - Some of these could fall under the “Antiques” category if you aren’t careful. So you have 100 Tupperware pieces left over from that one party you threw in the 1980s. Pass it on.
8. Musical Instruments - So Chuck Mangione inspired you to buy a flugelhorn in 1986, but you never took lessons. Give it up to the next generation of jazz on eBay.
9. Sports Equipment - You have a Stair Master, but you just became at master at staring at it. It did its job right? Make room in your game room for something that’s fun for the whole family (like a pool table), and stop kidding yourself.
10.Vehicle Parts - Forget Cash for Clunkers. You might be able to make more than $3k if you piecemeal your old cars to the highest bidder. Unlike the government deal, you get cold, hard cash.
Don’t want to go through the hassle of writing an ad? eBay became even easier when professional eBay consignment stores opened up all across the nation. Easysale, a popular Dallas eBay consignment store, charges you nothing upfront to list your item in most cases. After your item sells, they send you a check for 60% of the selling price. They’ll even pick up your eBay items around Dallas for free.
