Anyone do any ebay selling?

[Forest]

I just bought 9 barbie dolls from a neighbor that are old (prob 80's)

They are brand new and still in the orig boxes and have never been taken out

any ideas where to get an idea of value so I can sell them on ebay

I experiment with heaps of different stuff from some old expensive antiques to cheap crap.

Some days you'll get a crap price for something and a week later get 10 times that for a similar item ... I'm really wary of selling my collectable stuff on there unless its extremely rare as I've sold a few things I didn't want to part with for 99 cents ;(

I use Craiglist. I just sold a couch for 975 bucks last week. I bought it for 1500 six years ago. Can't complain. I gotta whole lotta shit to sell after a huge reno, so I think I will be on craigslist. Anyone interested in vintage stereo? lol

Nah, just an old Macintosh pre amp, can't remember the number, but the first solid state and it is hot. A classe home theatre sound pre amp. I am thinking about getting off of a dynaco 400 but it drives my JBLs beautifully. Better than my anthem, so that is a quandry, A couple of wharfdale 2 ways, and some rogers ls35a's with a sub woofer cabinet

I would agree. eBay has become a wholesale market for most collectibles. I know a number of antique dealers that buy on eBay to sell in their shop.

yeah wholesale is the best word to summarize that place these days!!

I have 1 great story though that shows me its about more than money when selling antiques ... I sold a bunnykins bowl, royal doulton, from 1950 to a lady in usa for $45 + 30 postage ... it had a few bids and finished on that. She told me after she'd paid and I'd sent it to her that her father was an artist for them during that period and he had passed away the previous year when her son was born so she was buying up all the pieces she could find done by her father to give to her son one day.

Aaaaaaaaw!!!

I buy all my pez there, great deals too

but the best part is the amount of choices, i never have to get past the first page of a search to find something I want

I used to sell computer hardware. Can't tell you anything about Barbies but I'm sure you could get something above the cost price.
