Holiday Seasons Coming Makes Good Sales

The Holiday Seasons are coming up quick. 2009 is already half way over.
There is Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas to start looking for items for these holidays to sell for. Since I shop in thrift stores alot I am starting to see half price Christmas items.

I recently sold CAMPBELL'S SOUP KIDS A Hearty Christmas Ornament 1996. This one I picked up at a thrift store Christmas in July sale was regularly priced at $1.96. Since it being a half price sale I paid $0.98c for. I listed it new in box, since it was in the original box and this Campbell's soup ornament seem like it was never used.


I listed it on eBay on Auction for 7 days. Started off at $7.99. It sold for $15.70. Another good profit on a pick up for under $1.00

Collectible Coffee Cups, Mugs

Coffee cups, mugs are great items to sell on eBay.

Look for coffee cups, mugs with advertisements, events, foreign countries, USA states, china replacement cups, .
These are easy finds in yard sales, thrift store and Estate Sales.

Starbucks coffee cups, mugs can bring in $9.99 on up.
I had recently bought this Starbucks mug at a thrift store in their $0.10 isle.



It had sold on eBay's Auction with a 7 day listing, starting price at $7.99. Title I used to list this, "STARBUCKS Coffee Cup Mug 9 oz Open Handle 2007". It had 9 watchers, with 4 bids sold at $12.70. Not bad profit for a 10 cent purchase.

Misspelled Words on eBay

Misspelled words on eBay listings will reduce these sellers from getting their items seen on google and search engines. These items end up with no bids. Even a high cost item will be lost if the seller did not spell words correctly.

Myself have even spelled a word incorrectly, but thank goodness for my windows have a spell checker included into my browser when I am listing items. I do Not ignore this when I see a word that is highlighted in Red. I will right click on it and correct the spelling it needed.

These misspelled words are not only found in the titles, but also in the description and your categories. Misspelled words can hurt your business. Double check your listings before you send to auction or as a buy it now or fixed price item.

If you know you have a good item that will sell, but it ends in your auction with no bids, might be best to look at the spelling of your words. One misspelled word can cause you to loose out on a good sale you had a posted.

These misspelled words are very good items to look for if you are looking for a bargain of your own or to resell.

I have searched and found quiet a few places that let you search for misspelled words. One I found to come up with the most searches is with AuctionIntelligence

With AuctionIntelligence you can search misspelled words in eBay US, Canada, UK and Australia. Plus it is free to do a search with. It will give you the quantities it finds in the country you selected. AuctionIntelligence
