A Boston police jacket. Bummer was it sold bin for $570 then it was flagged and refunded. Guess you can't sell authentic police jackets. I still have them for holloween! Also was an ivory pin.

Bone dice.
Cold steel knife lot had a Mini pal in it.

A bag of Dunkin Donuts coffee, pulled 4 hours before it ended. Pulled because of "copyright infringement and because DD couldn't 'verify' that it was the real thing or the freshness of it".

It had 5 bids, 2 watchers and was going for approx. $25.

Sold them all.
Billie Club
Dummie Rounds
Coach
Artillery Shell (sell as tramp).
P90X (it was boot-leg)
Vintage Political button, someone said was fake.
Fire Extinguisher (liquid)
Some other items that I can't remember.

I've noticed you can move some of these if you keep it to a 1 day auction, though Ebay is getting better at picking the items up earlier. I've had people contact me and buy it after delisted.

I've had a couple, but can't remember exactly what they were. It's been a long time. I do remember they were from complaints by the manufacturer.

Oh, I almost forgot about this one...which made my blood boil when it happened.

A Rosetta Stone program to learn Spanish. I picked up a kit with the CD/DVD's, the books, and the box.

Ebay yanked the listed because "Rosetta Stone said that it was counterfeit, and that I, as the seller, was not the original copyright licensee."

Man, I was ticked at the time, and I disagree(d) with the Federal law on copyright licensing.

In hindsight, I should have sold it as a BIN with an attractive price.

All of the above reasons is why I would never sell on e-bay. :icon_thumright:

New Zippos. Relisted them not saying new any where and they sold.

Colt AR15/223 Gun magazines. Yanked, cause I didn't put in how many rounds they held.
There lost, I got good prices selling at a flea market.

1 more I remembered- Vintage photographic sets of nude women. Listed in correct category with correct wording in title. Relisted, didn't change a thing, and sold about a dozen sets of them.

I remember something else too once, just don't remember what item it was. It had something to do with Native Americans and the actual tribe they were from.

A Red Ryder BB gun many years ago ( 1998 ). This was before you had to put orange plugs on all toy guns. The bidding was up to $250.00... I didn't know at the time if it shoots a projectile, you can't sell it. Since then I have sold over $30,000 worth of stuff, not all of that was profit. I've made more money selling action figures then anything else. Is anyone familiar with Marvel Legends?

Bunch of WWII / WWI Items Like Army Crates, Clips and Straps. I eventually figured out that it was the word "machine gun" which was kicking them.
Every once in a while I get a piece of Tiffany & Co. jewelry kicked. The worst part about that is that you are then sometimes banned from re-listing for 30 days. Very weird. Same thing with Chanel items. Those two brands seem to be very heavily audited.
Antique Firecraker Labels
An antique spring loaded fishing hammer ( I made the mistake of saying "work's like a switch blade" in the listing)
A pair of David Yurman earrings. My photos allegedly did not show enough a detail to confirm they were real. I re-posted with the original owner's receipt.
A rev war butt plate (again -- made the mistake of mentioning the weapon in the title)
Little over a carat of uncut diamonds from the 1900's. Never got an explanation on this one. Tried to re-list and they got bumped again. I still have them.
