Reputation: | I've sold a little bit of everything. I sell books on eBay's other site, half.com. I have sold old computer games and computer equipment on eBay, as well as collectibles and other random things. Most of the time, I'm not selling anything of great value, so it's either sell on eBay or donate to Goodwill or some other source, and therefore, even a few bucks profit is good enough for me.

| Member | Oh, let's see: Mostly magazines, but also some old car manuals, books, some action figures I got for 90% or 95% off at going out of business sales, and most recently some of my wife's quilt patterns.

Reputation: | On eBay I have sold everything from baseball cards, books, electronics even older National Geographic magazines. I have recently stopped selling on eBay because of getting fees on both sides, listing and selling, then paypal fees. Currently I have been selling books on Amazon and other items on Amazon Marketplace. So far it has been a positive experience.

| Member | I sell small appliances and every day items that people want/need. Most of them need lots of cleaning and some need replace, but I managed to get a few dollars back in return and the buyers get a good deal as long as they don't mind buying *used*. I used to buy (cheap) all the plate or sterling silver I could find, polish it up, sometimes re-plating it, and then sell it for a good profit. Times are tighter now and with gas prices its harder to do the garage sales as much any more. |

| Member | I'll sell old electronics and old computer parts/etc that I don't need anymore on ebay. I'm constantly surprised at how much money some people will pay for things. For example, i recently sold my old Dreamcast video game system on ebay with games for over $100. A dvd recorder that we had sold for over $200.. |

Reputation: | I've done well selling gently used maternity clothes. Either my own or ones I've found at yard sales, etc. Kids clothes, I do better with new than with used, but it really depends on the brand. I also sell lots of odds and ends. Makeup (more expensive brands) and toys that I found on clearance, books, DVDs, etc. I keep an eye out for anything that is a good deal and will usually buy to resell. |

| Senior Member | I've never sold anything on eBay... it seems like a pain in the behind these days. I have sold used textbooks on amazon.com before and it has worked out really well. |
