Starbucks is extremely well known all over the world. Some Starbucks themed items sell very well on eBay. Here are a few tips to help you understand what items to sell.

One Starbucks item that does well is their flavored syrup. Many of the syrups are only sold at certain times of the year. If you buy the syrup while it’s available, you can do very well in the off season. A lot of people don’t think about stocking up on their favorite flavor, so they’re willing to pay more than retail price to get it when they run out.

Older or hard to find Starbucks coffee mugs are big sellers as well. Many people collect them, and they can sometimes be found at a garage sales or in a thrift store. Architect City, Bella Vista, and Tel-Aviv mugs all have selling prices of more than $150. For more examples of popular mugs, check eBay’s completed listings.

Starbucks plush Bearista Bears (especially the limited or special editions) are also popular. They can also be found at a thrift store or garage sale. Bearista Bears created with a pro sports team theme can often be sold for more than $40 each. Grouping the bears into a lot is a good selling strategy.

Gift cards from Starbucks also sell well. They normally sell for 90% of their value. You can increase your profits even more if you get the gift cards free. Click here to find out how to get free Starbucks gift cards.

You may have heard me talk about selling gift cards on eBay. Here is my most recent sale of Starbucks gift cards, which I obtained FREE by using Swagbucks:



This is the strategy. Sign up at Swagbucks. You earn points for using their search engine. You don't have to use it exclusively, but just use it a few times a day.

Once you have 130 points, you can redeem a $10 Starbucks Gift Card. The Starbucks cards are the only ones on Swagbucks that are NOT e-Cards. In other words, you get an actual gift card in the mail in about a week. Every other gift card on Swagbucks must be redeemed online - such as at Target.com, Amazon.com, etc. And with e-Cards comes shipping fees on the merchandise you are getting free, so your "prize" can actually be eaten up paying for shipping. (I found this out the hard way.) The Starbucks card is is an actual physical card that you can sell on eBay.

I usually wait until I have a few and sell them as a batch. That reduces your listing fees, final value fees, and Paypal fees. And always use delivery confirmation when shipping a gift card, so you can prove that the item was delivered to the buyer.

I am a big believer in multiple streams of income. This one is easy. It cost me zero dollars to accumulate these gift cards, which I then sold on eBay and my profit after fees was $62.00. Not bad for something you can do without ever leaving your chair. So far this year, Swagbucks gift cards have helped me earn over $800 on eBay without doing more than creating a listing for a gift card and mailing it.
