How are your eBay auctions going?

Here's a little something from my friend Jenni....

How are your eBay auctions going?

I've been hearing that some sellers are really struggling... I hope that isn't you! But, if it is (and even if your auctions are doing well in this lovely economy)... I have a gift for you.

Every week I poke around on eBay and look for used toys that are selling well on eBay... Combining this research with my experience at garage sales, I put together a weekly list for MyToyGuide subscribers.

This list has at least 25 used toy items that are currently selling on eBay... PLUS, I include a tip for how much I would pay for the item if I were to find it at a thrift shop or garage sale. I am always amazed at the huge profit margin I see with used toys on eBay... seriously - you can buy a toy for $5 and turn it around for well over 100% profit (I'm talking AFTER eBay and paypal fees!)

Here are a couple of things I found that are in the most recent MyToyGuide list...

USED piece of dollhouse furniture for $36! You can find this for less than $5 at garage sales or thrift shops if you know to look for them!... consider that profit margin. If you paid $10 to list and cover your inventory and fees - your profit is an easy $16 just for this one little toy.

How about these...
Did you know that the Toy Story DVD's for Toy Story 1 and Toy Story 2 - USED - recently sold for over $55? You could pick these up at a garage sale for $15-20 for the set -- if you knew to look for them.

The MyToyGuide weekly list provides this information to you on a weekly basis... with actual auctions that are current as proof for what is selling!

Check it out for yourself... you can get the most recent weekly MyToyGuide list HERE:

(And be sure to share the list with your eBay friends!)

Print it out... and use it as a reference for shopping for used toy inventory.... a gift - just because :-) Well, actually, I know times are tough right now... and many sellers don't realize how well they can do with used toys on eBay. In fact, I think used toys are better to sell than new toys -the profit margin is much larger... with limited risk because used toys are so cheap!

Take a look for yourself... there is no sign up - just the most recent MyToyGuide list:

Enjoy!
