What Sold On eBay: April 8, 2019

What Sold On eBay

On Monday, April 8, 2019, I sold FIVE items on eBay. You read that right, five items sold. For a Monday that is back into normal sales quantity territory, which hasn’t happened very often in 2019.

Churchill Downs 2000 Kentucky Derby Alumni Weekend Coffee Mug

1. I sold a Churchill Downs 2000 Kentucky Derby Alumni Weekend Coffee Mug via a 30% off sale and a 1% Promoted Listing.

I picked up multiples of these at a thrift store last year and have been selling them on eBay and in our antique mall showcase. This is actually the last one that I have right now, but I’ll store the listing for when I come across more.

Being 90 minutes away from Louisville I run across Kentucky Derby items almost as frequently as I do Indy 500 & Brickyard 400 items. The standard glasses don’t sell as well as the mugs do, which would be a simple matter of supply and demand.

VERDICT: Buy! They might not sell right away, but they will sell. While the race is less than a month away, these have sold all year long.

97th Indianapolis Indy 500 Hat

2. I sold a 97th Indianapolis Indy 500 Hat via a 50% off sale and a 1% Promoted Listing.

This was picked up at either a garage sale or thrift store and was listed in September 2018. While I do sell some Indy 500 items all year long, it picks up closer to May.

In one of my other lives, I cover the races in a media capacity and will pick up anything Indy 500 related that I see. If it doesn’t sell I’ll enjoy it myself. Nothing beats The Month of May in Indy!

VERDICT: Buy, but plan on it selling around race time.

Vintage Boy Scouts of America Hat

3. I sold a Vintage Boy Scouts of America Hat via a 50% off sale.

This was picked up at a thrift store and listed in March 2019. A hat that sells in under a month is a good hat to pick up any time you see one.

VERDICT: Buy!

St. John’s Bay Blue Jean Denim Shorts

4. I sold a St. John’s Bay Blue Jean Denim Shorts via a 10% off sale, which is on top of the 50% price drop I made last week.

I made a mistake with shipping on this one and if I’m lucky I might break even. I need to write a blog post about this.

This was picked up at a thrift store and listed in January 2018. This was back when I was just starting to get an idea of clothing brands and I now know that this is a bad one to resell.

You should be aware that St John’s Bay is a JCPenney brand. Not to be confused with St John which is a higher end brand of designer clothing.

VERDICT: DO NOT BUY THIS!

Bimini Bay Button Down Fishing Shirt

5. I sold a Bimini Bay Button Down Fishing Shirt via a 10% off sale, which is also on top of the 50% price drop I made last week.

Again, another small sale, but it’s gone and I probably made a few dollars profit on it.

This was picked up at a thrift store and listed in October 2017. 18-months for a few dollars isn’t worth it. Ever.

I see a trend of not selling things with “Bay” in the brand name on eBay.

VERDICT: DO NOT BUY THIS!

Mugs & Glassware Listed on eBay: April 8, 2019

On Monday, April 8, 2019, I listed 6 items in our eBay mugs & glassware store and 3 hats and 1 necklace in our main eBay store.

Mugs & Glassware

These mugs & glasses were all picked up at a thrift store last Thursday.

I run across the Indy 500 cups below regularly but I’m not sure which year these started and when they ended. These days glass is not allowed inside of Indianapolis Motor Speedway, so these are a relic that will stay in the past.

Hats for Sale on eBay

These hats were picked up last Thursday at a thrift store along with the mugs and glassware above. As stated, racing related items are abundant here in Indy, and that includes alcohol promo items as they spend a lot of money promoting here during the races we host.

Jewelry for Sale on eBay

This necklace was in a box lot that I picked up at the auction some months ago and I just got around to listing it.

What Sold On eBay: March 31, 2019

What Sold On eBay

On Sunday, March 31, 2019, I sold two items on eBay.

1. I sold a Legrand-Pass & Seymour White Three-Light Switch Plastic Despard Wall Plate K3-W at the full asking price.

This is a rather odd and boring item that I picked up back in 2017 in a large clearance lot at the local hardware store. These tiny switches are found mainly in older homes. Talking to my uncle who is an electrician, he said he had never seen a plastic one before and that you’d really want a metal wall plate to go with that sort of thing to fit the style. My best guess would be people remodeling older homes and going with a modern day look instead of historical. Or maybe they couldn’t find a metal one.

This is a perfect example of the type of “smalls” that I like to sell. List once and sell many over a few years. But it’s also something I wouldn’t recommend specializing in or buying by the gross. There’s a reason the hardware store got rid of them.

2. I sold a Celebrate The Spectacle 2006 90th Indy 500 CD Cardz via Best Offer AND with a 1% Promoted Listing.

Anything Indy 500 related is of personal interest and in my wheelhouse. And it’s readily available everywhere around Central Indiana. This particular item was picked up recently in an auction lot of costume jewelry and is the entire reason I went after this particular lot. There was a handful of these in there and they should start selling in April and May as we get closer to race time.

As far as CD Cardz goes, I couldn’t find a whole lot of information and no exact comp. Comps for other ones were all over the board, so I listed high and added Best Offer to the listing.

Is it May yet?!
