About 2 weeks ago I got a big Hippo bag of random electronic junk, it had a large number of Dot matrix displays I wanted to rip out. It all worked and was marine nav equipment so I thought what the hell and popped about a quarter of it on Ebay.
I paid £20 for the lot
6 items from it..
just a shade under £600 at finish!!!!! :shock: :shock:
I have a shedload more in the back room!

Love it...people will pay for any old rubbish...well done :twisted: :twisted:
-
Wow thats great, I got £93 for a pair of naff Ferrari cufflinks I paid £5 for!

Excellent! Where do you go to buy a Hippo bag of random electronic stuff - apart from eBay of course?
-
thing is you need to be lucky that what you are selling, someone out there really wants it
i had something last year that didnt get a bid in the first time around so i re-advertised and got it sold within an hour!
-
I sold an old tow rope with a wooden toggle on, I think it went for £30, I paid £3 for it!!!! Crazy!!
-
Was purchased down the boot sale. in particular there were 3 12" tft displays in there, they are what I really wanted. Turns out to be another ruggedised display and the other two are racing displays for Boats, worth a fair chunk.
I'll be setting reserves for the next round.

On the flip side, a friend got a touch-screen TFT display for the car for £30. It was from an EPOS system and nobody bid because it didn't appear to be a normal monitor.

A plastic rabbit from poundland(yes it cost £1), sold for £6.99 + p+p on ebay, did it about 4 times.....people are very silly when they are bored at home with a pc and a credit card

Went to a car boot bought a camera tripod for £6
Sold the remote focus bit from it for £56, when the bloke paid me asked if I had any other stuff?
Sold the tripod for £750
And he paid the carrage!
So bought our selves a £2000 caravan, in the right place at the right time for £750.
I love Ebay but havent done much lately, need to motorvate my self, But I am doing an auto jumble at the weekend, so hopefully should be good?
I find it pays for all the bits you cant justify spending the family cash on like motor bikes and off roaders

Bought latex dog grooming mits from wilkos for approx £1.99, sold on ebay as "latex fetish spanker mits" for £14 - 18. Managed a few sets a week for months but ebay kept removing them in the end. Not acceptable apparently, no sense of humour more like!

Thats a fab idea
Bloke near me bought some limited edition Marmite ( Guinness I think)
Added 60p to the price he paid, charged £3 P+P, sold 50-60 per day for a few weeks till Morrisons had none left
I did here a tale of a woman who goes to the local shoe shops and buys Stillettos size 8 and above for buttons as the shop dont sell many, they even save them for her now.
Takes them home gets a photo of her hubbys big fat hairy leg in them and sells them for cross dressers at a vast profit, just goes to show there is an bum for every seat. :lol:
-
Hehe I can well believe that! A the time I was selling the "spankers" I also sold a run of cheap studded dog collars and basically anything I could find that was made of latex. The missus used to hate it when I dragged her round town on a saturday shopping for something I could redescribe and sell to fetish folk. Plus she reckoned the guy in the pet shop was starting to recognise me lol
