What Sells Best on eBay

1. Toys (in used but still good condition)

  • Fisher Price toys (Little People, Dollhouses, baby items, etc.)
  •  Little Tykes (waffle blocks, dollhouse furniture, cars & trucks)
  • Vintage toys from the 60s, 70s, 80s (Strawberry Shortcake; Care Bears)
  • Thomas the Tank Engine items
  • Dolls with popular names (Amazing Ally, Crissy, Mrs. Beasley, Sunshine Family, American Girl)
  • Baby toys with name brands like Fisher Price, Playskool, or Little Tykes
  • Lego sets
  • Lincoln Logs sets
  • Play-doh toys
  • Dollhouses
  • Fisher Price Adventure play sets like castles, tree houses, and ships
  • Discovery Toys
HINT: Toys sell best in groups of like items, for example:
 HUGE LOT of Fisher Price Little People Toys

 
HUGE LOT of Winnie the Pooh Books, Puzzles, and Videos

2. Books

  • Homeschool books that you are done with (A Beka, Christian Light, Modern Curriculum Press, BJU, etc.)
  • Children's books in HUGE LOTS of 30+ books
  • Name brand books like DK or Usborne
  • Books in series (Little House on the Prairie, Boxcar children, Nancy Drew, Bobbsey Twins, American Girl)
  • How to Draw books
  • Arts & Crafts Books
  • Classics
  • Unused activity books for preschoolers
  • Learning-to-read books
  • Cookbooks
  • Cake decorating books
  • Foreign language tapes, books, CDs, and courses
  • School textbooks
  • Computer games on CD-ROM for kids (e.g., Jumpstart and Reader Rabbit)
  • Baby board books (without teeth marks!) for toddlers

3. Clothes

  • Girls dresses in good condition, sizes 4/5, 2T-3T, 5/6
  • Women's maternity clothes S, M, L
  • Women's nursing outfits
  • Baby sleepers in good or like-new condition
  • Jackets
  • Coats for winter or fall
  • Name brands (e.g., Columbia) jackets/sweatshirts
  • Baby shoes, size 0-5
  • Gymboree, Old Navy, Healthex, Baby Gap clothes will sell well
         because they are durable.
HINT: Clothes sell best in large lots of like sizes. For example:
 
HUGE LOT 10+ Boy Clothes, size 0-6 months, Like NEW cond.

Children's clothes sell better than adult clothes because the sizes are more standard. Just be specific and say what is on the label.

4. Videos
     
These videos will always sell well:

  •  Veggie Tales (Sell as a group and you can get nearly half to full price you paid for them.) For example 6 Veggie Tale movies will usually bring about $50!
  • Adventures in Odyssey
  • Prayer Bear by Steve Green
  • Cedarmont Kids Videos and tapes and CDs
  • Donut Man
  • StoryKeepers
  • Quigley's Village
  • McGee & Me
  • Any Bible Stories videos
  • Little House on the Prairie
  • Anne of Green Gables or Avonlea
  • The Waltons

Disney Movies (Bambi, Mary Poppins, Babe, Toy Story, Cinderella)   Disney movies in nice cases sold in large lots will bring a good amount of money.  I often find these in my garage sale adventures for 50 cents a video and then can resell them for 10 times or more what I paid. Be watching. Videos are easy to sell by name without pictures.

5. Baby Items

  • Backpacks
  • Strollers in good condition
  • Johnny Jumpers in good condition (not recalls!)
  • Nursing pillows or other nursing items
  • Crib bedding sets
  • Nursery decor that matches (themes)
  • Breast pumps
  • Slings, Snuglis
  • Nursery monitors
  • Exersaucers (Don't worry; buyer pays shipping!)

6. Other Items That Sell

  • Exercise equipment
  • Items that are still in their original boxes
  • Computer games on CD
  • There's even a category for weird items!
