I was pretty big selling items on eBay back around the turn of the century. If you are not familiar, eBay is an online marketplace that makes it easy for individuals to sell just about anything, new or used.
I sold 2 or 3 Mac Book Pros there. What I would do is buy the Applecare which was transferable, which as I recall, gave the computer a total of 3 or 4 year warranty (I forget) and just before it ran out, would sell it on eBay. So I could sell a $2000 computer for $900 which was not bad, then I’d buy a new laptop. This was also the time that I was traveling with work, playing games in Bootcamp, the program that allowed PC games to run on my Mac natively, so I was more interested in keeping the hardware up to date. Since then I have abandoned playing games on my MBP, and my 2016 MBP is still working fine. But I’ve gotten a little off topic.
In the past we have sold some Lego sets originally purchased for our Grandson, kept at our house, that he was no longer was interested in. The discontinued Harry Potter sets were (are?) amazingly popular. I sold them at profits.
Recently my wife discovered that since a popular brand Crabtree and Evelyn has closed it’s stores and discontinued some items that are still very popular, such as the Nantucket Briar scent used in a variety of products like a room spray, and scented draw liner paper of which she has several unused, that are now selling on eBay for ridiculous prices. In the last 2 months I’ve sold on her behalf a bottle of Nantucket Briar room scented spray ($12 retail) for $89, and Nantucket Briar scented drawer lining paper (retail $10?) for $80 each, and some Nantucket Briar scented bath soap (3 pack, retail $12?) for $70, buyer pays for mailing. I’m a bit impressed, a total of $800 product sold at approximately a 700- 800% profit. What else can I sell??
