eBay Seller Success Story - Sony Dream Machine

You know I love getting success stories from my readers. There are quite a few sharp online sellers out there, including Jo Henniger. Jo, whose eBay store is Bytown Boutique, recently sent me this message:

Dear Suzanne,

I enjoyed reading about Denise and the sale of her Smith Corona Typewriter. I agree, vintage items can be very profitable. I always like to keep my eye out for fun vintage pieces. Something that I've had luck with over the past couple of years is vintage alarm clocks. Flip clocks are a sure sale, but just about any kind will do well.

Thanks for a great blog!

And thank you for sharing your story, Jo! Here is a screenshot of a recent sale of a Vintage Sony Dream Machine:

This is just more evidence of how well vintage items sell on eBay. Think of the items you may have in your home right now that someone would love to buy. The thrifts stores are a great place to look for items to sell to make money.

Online Seller Success Story – Smith Corona Typewriter

I love getting success stories from other sellers. There are so many items out there that are thrown away or donated that others simply treasure. I recently got this email from Denise McNabb:

I just purchased a nice Skywriter typewriter at my local thrift store. I paid just $4.00 and sold it for $99.50. I did throw in free shipping but this ended up selling to a customer in Canada so that added $27 to my expenses. Love your site. I've been selling on eBay since 1997. I always look for new items to resell and recently retired from teaching, 31 years in the profession, now I'm ready to move on to selling full time on eBay and Amazon. Thanks for all you do for your readers.

Here is a screenshot of the closed listing for the 1957 Smith Corona Typewriter:

Even with the additional shipping costs, Denise profited nicely on this sale. Vintage items are great sellers on eBay. (This is a list of vintage items that usually go well on eBay.)
