Selling on eBay is one of the easiest ways to start making money online
. Almost everyone has some type of old collectible taking up space that they really do not want anymore. That is just the right type of item to get things started.
Old baseball gloves are often found tucked away in attics. These often stay hidden away for twenty or thirty years before seeing the light of day again. A vintage glove in decent condition can often bring very good returns. If there is a special signature on it, the glove can be worth even more.
Anything related to major soft drink brands is a pretty safe bet to be collectible. Coca Cola products have a major following with collectors. Dr. Pepper is another very popular brand to collect.
Some people enjoy collecting items that have been released relatively recently. Promotional items from places like Starbucks can become valuable very quickly if they were only available in limited quantities. They are definitely worth checking on if you have them.
Everyone knows that old dolls are popular collectibles, but so are other toys made during the twentieth century. One popular name brand is Mattel. The maker of Barbie also made many other very popular toys that people want to add to their collections.
Smoking may not be in vogue any more, but collecting ashtrays certainly is on eBay. Vintage ashtrays command some good money if they have the right logo on them or if they happen to be made in some style that interests collectors. Standing ashtrays often draw a lot of interest as do vintage ashtrays that were often given away as advertising premiums.
Vintage clothes from previous decades have a strong following on eBay. Fashion lovers of today enjoy purchasing the old duds and spicing them up with today's hottest accessories. You may be surprised to see just how many people might be interested in the vintage clothes you were going to give away to charity.
Do you have boxes upon boxes of old glassware? If you held on to those old cartoon glasses that used to be sold at major restaurant chains, you might have a nice collection on your hands and not even know about it. Individual cartoon glasses do alright by themselves at auction, but complete sets are even more valuable and should definitely be checked out on eBay for their possible value.
