Score Board
Welcome to the “Score Board”! The “Score Board” is a place where you can tell the world about your recent “scores”! I hope that it will become an educational resource for eBay sellers. Learn about what sells by checking the “Score Board” on a regular basis!
The more “scores” submitted, the better! Here’s how it works:
1. Enter your name, email, and website address (if you have one) below.
2. Send me a brief description of your recent “score” along with a picture of the item you sold.
3. Be sure to mention your userid and/or store name so that people can check out your other goodies. (Free advertising. Yay!)
4. If possible, send me a link to the item.
Hope to hear from you soon!
I buy bulk CDs and DVDs. Got a good deal on over 1000 CDs for about 3 cents each.
Sold this one for $23.00 (over half of what I paid for the entire lot).

I bought these packs of men’s Jockey underwear for $8 at an estate sale and sold them for $56. This style is hard to find!
Purchased this J. Crew cashmere coat for $15 and sold it for $200. Yay!
Not big dollars but big percentage: Bought this Ultimate Martial Arts Board (re-breakable plastic board for Karate kids to kick instead of wooden board) for $0.54, sold it two days later for $28.95.

What sells on eBay?
Arita buttons! Beautiful Japanese porcelain, circa 1930’s imported to the US in the ’50’s, these buttons rocked on eBay! I had 6 of them and sold them for $232! I sold one in just 6 hours. Then had a set of 5 for $200 or best offer and blew that by counteroffering. Who wouldn’t take $175 for 5 buttons? My counter was declined. I learned a big lesson! Dickering is better done in person. Listing closed no sale. I relisted a set of 3 which auctioned for $102! And sold the other 2 for $40 each. I ended up selling the set of 5 for $182.
Purchased this Pataloha Shirt for $3.99, it sold overnight for $79.85, Wahoo!!!

Show 1 ReplyCareful with shipping of perfumes. ALL perfumes have to ship via ground shipping (first class or parcel select) due to flammability. They CANNOT be shipped internationally.
I keep an eye on Pyrex sales and go to EBay’s sold listings all the time and then sort by highest price sold. I was in an antique store by me and saw a piece of Pyrex that rang a bell. I bought it for $49 and sold it for $295.00!

Show 3 RepliesWow! I’ve never had much luck with Pyrex. I should give it a second look!
I think that antique stores are a good spot to look because a lot of those sellers put items in there and then forget about them. If they’re not keeping current pricing with how high the prices are going online, you can get a great deal like I did!
I love these! I have tons of Pyrex items so I’m thinking of selling some of those on Ebay as well.
Wish me luck!! 🙂
Both of these shirts were picked up at different Goodwills for $1.29. The ’80s blue Nike was BIN at $74.99. The Santa Monica Track Club was listed at $149, but I took an offer of $100 since it was from the same buyer. These days are rare but encouraging when they happen. I always give 10% to a charity relevant to the item, so it’s a “win,win,win.” Here are the links: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-80s-M-L-Santa-Monica-Track-Club-Gray-Athletic-Shirt-Carl-Lewis-Olympic-/271945821291?rd=1

Show 3 RepliesHow did you know these worth so much? I would have passed them over.
There is no T-shirt price guide. Its a formula of cultural relevance, rarity and function. These shirts are over 30 years old and comes with the stench of authenticity…which, to a certain demographic, is a status symbol. The buyer remarked that he has been looking for the Nike shirt for over 5 years (possibly nostalgia). I overpaid once for a 1984 Olympic shirt because it reminded me of my grandfather and it was in a size that I can wear. I’m a graphic designer by trade and can spot a valuable shirt in the same way that someone can discern amber and bakelite. Although I have struck out on overproduced reprints before. You always continue to learn and maybe one day I will have an interest in knives and flatware.
Thanks for the info! Did you find any in the completed listings or are these that rare?
None on completed listings so it was all a calculated hunch 🙂 It also sold overnight so part of me thinks I should have priced it higher. Then again its part of the wonders of eBay. The right buyer at the right time for the right price.
I picked up this boys ralph lauren graphic t-shirt at the Goodwill Outlet for .86. Sold for $35.
Show 1 ReplyGreat find!
I bought this “Sunset Gallery” Christmas Stocking Crewel Kit at a church sale (fill a bag for $5 – so this probably cost me .50). I should have known something was up when it got a bid about 30 minutes after I listed it! It sold for $81!!
Purchased this Edward Gorey rubber stamp for $1. Got $36 for it. It was the only one listed on ebay.
I paid $1.75 for all of these vintage coffee cups. They are Farfel from the Nestle commericals back in the 50s 60s. I got $49.99 plus shipping at an auction. Very happy with that score.
